I dont doubt but this Tragical Act Acted att St. Augustine
has Reacht home before now. This Case may perhaps travell as
farr. when they'l Remember the Sufferings of their
Countrymen Under the Command of this Francisco whom we have
Gott in possession with some of his Comp'y who were
Concern'd with him and Under his Command in that inhuman
fact they will agree no doubt, as I hope Your Honour will,
that they must be Slaves and no others Concern'd in it, So
hope that by the Contradictions which has been shewn in
Court Concerning this Juan Baptista Domas, who affirms he
never saw them till on board the privateer, and Francisco
and Aug'ne both woud prove that they knew him some months
before and Converst with him, is proof Enough they are
Slaves and hope that by the old Law of Nations, where it
Says that all prisoners of War, nay Even their posterity are
Slaves, that by that Law Pedro Sancho and And'w Estavie will
be decreed as Such for the Use of the Captures. So shall
Rest it with your Hon'r.

Then the Judge Gave his Decree that the Sloop and Cargo shoud be sold
att Vandue and the one half thereof shoud be p'd the Captures for
Salvage, free from all Charges, that Juan Baptisto Domas, Pedro Sanche
and And'w Estavie, According to the Laws of England shoud Remain as
prisoners of War till Ransomed, And that Augustine and Francisco
according to the Laws of the plantations shoud be Slaves and for the
use of the Captures. So the Court broke up.
