Translation
ignorant of judicial formalities, as a
man not well versed in these matters, he signed
the said reports as he has said
without imagining that there could be falsehoods
in them, nor thinking about the consequences
that could result , since he was not
used to the obligations of the attesting
witnesses and both the Commander
Don Valentin Leblanc, as well as the Scribe
Don Fernando Rodriguez had told him that
signing as an attesting witness was pro
forma, and that certainly he could do it; which
is proven by the fact that
the declarant put down his signature without paying attention
when the Commander presented him with the finished
report, which he would not have done
if he had been taught better and suspected
that from this could come some harm
to the declarant or to other people, and he
