Translation
Don Juan Bautista Nicolet, neighbor and businessman
of the Post of Punta Cortada now in this City
as provided by law before Your Honor I appear
and I say: by the power which I present, with the
necessary solemnity, Amable Couvillon, Santiago
Favre and Bartholome Olinda residents
of said Post empower and authorize me in their
name to reclaim the three Blacks named
Cesar, Jacobo and Juan Luis belonging to
them and who are prisoners in the Royal
Jails because of the Trial conducted against several
Black slaves belonging to different residents of said
Post: by virtue of which upon receipt Your Honor will order
that the said three Blacks be returned to me under
the corresponding acquittance, since all the others
involved in said trial have already been returned
to their respective Masters, by merit of what resulted
from the trial for this purpose, and that the aforementioned
my grantors are wretched residents
extremely miserable heads of household
