Q. Was her death the subject of no conversation at that time among the ship’s crew? A. It was between me and Mr. Devereux; and I heard the two boys Pearson and Cruise speak of it. Q. How many men did the whole crew consist of? A. About six and twenty. Q. At what time of the day did the fact happen which you have related? A. Some time in the forenoon. Q. You heard no conversation about it, except that between the two boys? A. No. Q. Are these boys now absent? A. I heard so, but cannot say. Q. How many of the mariners do you think are now in this country? A. I do not know. I mean to relate every fact which may go, as well to subvert my own evidence, as make against the prisoner. Q. What time did you arrive at Granada? A. On the 28th of October. Q. Did you disclose the death of this girl to any person at Granada? A. No. Q. How long were you there? A. About a month. Q. Did you go to the Custom-house while you were there? A. I did. Q. Did you keep a journal while you were on the middle passage? A. Yes: of whites, but not of blacks. Q. Did you deliver in your journal? A. Yes. Q. And swore to it? A. The form of an oath was read to me, by a person sitting at a desk: I took the book, and returned it without swearing. Q. Did you sign the journal as sworn to it? A. Yes I did. Here Mr. Pigott read his oath, which declared that his journal was a just and true one; and the attested copy being handed to the witness, he declared, he did not recollect whether he had signed it or not. Q. Is not that your name to the oath—and is it false or true? A. I do not recollect that I signed it. Q. Is your bond discharged? A. Yes, I produced this copy at Bristol, to have it discharged. Q. Why did not the cause of the death of the negro girl appear in your journal? A. The apprehensions I had for my own safety, while I sailed with the prisoner, prevented me from relating it. Q. Is it from disclosing a barbarous murder? A. Yes; because the prisoner and I had often quarrelled, and I might have been judged an improper evidence against him. Q. At what place did you quarrel? A. At the river of Calabar. Q. Did you not mutiny? A. Never. Q. Did you not strike the prisoner? A. I did, after he had abused and struck me on board his ship. Q. You collared and held him? A. Yes, at the cabin door; when the first and second mate came and seized me, and by the prisoner’s orders, I was put into irons, where I continued twenty-four hours; and I was afterwards excluded from the cabin, and obliged to mess with the common men. Q. Did you not tell a Mr. Jacks that you would be revenged on Captain Kimber? A. No, I never said so. Q. Did you not say you would work his ruin?
