_Jo. Wingfield_, a Prisoner with them at _Calabar_, says the same, as to the Quality he acted in, but that he was Civil beyond any of them, and verily believes, that when the Brigantine he served on Board of, as a Factor for the _African_ Company, was voted to be burnt, this Man was the Instrument of preventing it, expressing himself with a great deal of Sorrow, for this and the like malicious Rogueries of the Company he was in; that to him shewed, he had acted with Reluctancy, as one who could not avoid what he did. He adds further, that when one _Hamilton_, a Surgeon, was taken by them, and the Articles about to be imposed on him, he opposed, and prevented it. And that _Hunter_, another Surgeon, among them, was cleared at the Prisoner's Instance and Perswasion; from which last, this Deponent had it assured to him, that _Glasby_ had once been under Sentence of Death, on Board of them, with two more, for endeavouring an Escape in the _West-Indies_, and that the other two were really shot for it. _Elizabeth Trengrove_, who was taken a Passenger in the _African_ Company's Ship _Onslow_, strengthen'd the Evidence of the last Witness; for having heard a good Character of this _Glasby_, she enquired of the Quarter-Master, who was then on Board a robbing, whether or no she could see him? And he told her, _No_; they never ventured him from the Ship, for he had once endeavoured his Escape, and they had ever since continued jealous of him. _Edward Crisp_, Captain _Trengrove_, and Captain _Sharp_, who had all been taken in their Turns, acknowledge for themselves and others, who had unluckily fallen into those Pyrates Hands, that the good Usage they had met with, was chiefly thro' the Prisoner's Means, who often interposed, for leaving sufficient Stores and Instruments on Board the Ships they had robbed, alledging, they were superfluous and unnecessary there. _James White_, whose Business was Musick, and was on the Poop of the Pyrate Ship in Time of Action with the _Swallow_, deposed, that during the Engagement, and Defence she made, he never saw the Prisoner busied about the Guns, or giving Orders, either to the loading or firing of them; but that he wholly attended to the setting, or trimming, of the Sails, as _Roberts_ commanded; and that in the Conclusion, he verily believed him to be the Man who prevented the Ship's being blown up, by setting trusty Centinels below, and opposing himself against such hot-headed Fellows as had procured lighted Matches, and were going down for that Purpose.
