[The rubric of the said judge appears at the foot.]
Before me:
Agustin de Valencuela, notary-public.
Then immediately on the said day, month, and year, the said
judge summoned Jose Martin de Barcelona before him for the said
investigation. An oath was received from him in due form of law, before
God our Lord and with the sign of the cross, under which obligation
he promised to tell the truth. Being questioned in accordance with the
tenor of the said act, he declared that he knows the said captain Juan
Dominguez; and although it is true that this witness stated that the
said captain Juan Dominguez was not to go to Terrenate, he did not
say that because he thought that he was going to Yndia, but because
it was reported that the royal officials were going to arrest him for
a sum of pesos which he owes to the royal treasury. He understands or
knows nothing else than what he has declared, and that is the truth,
on his oath, on which he affirmed and ratified his statements. He
declared that he is competent to act as a witness, and that he is
forty-four years old. He affixed his signature to the same, and the
said judge signed it.
