answered in the same language: And that the declarant
understood well what they were asked and the responses
of some of the said Blacks who spoke
so-so French, but not the responses of the others who

for their declarations? he said: That it was the
Commander of that Post don Valentin
Leblanc and he responds--
Asked if other than the declarant
