et qu’alors Baptiste lui dit devenir
prendre un filet & qu’il parleroit
après, mais que passant dans le
moment un mulatre Libre nommé

maîtresse, & qu’antoine Sarrasin l’étoit
du camp du Sr. Poédras, que le
déclarant n’avoit point voulu en
parler n’y au Commandant n’y a Sa
maîtresse Craignant que faute de
preuves qu’il eut pu apporter on
