Footnote 14:
An appellation, the seceders assumed after their leaving the white

Footnote 15:
Against this witness, the Court had not a tittle of testimony; he
consented without hesitation to become a witness, and to give all the
information he possessed; a pledge having been previously given him by
the Court, that he should not be prosecuted, nor his name revealed.
Footnote 16:
_Perault unhesitatingly stated to Monday’s face, that he had written
two letters, to St. Domingo, and that he (Perault) had gone to
Vanderhorsts wharf with him, in April or May last, to give them in
charge of a black cook on board of a schooner bound to that island.
After Monday was so charged, he confessed that the fact was so, and
that he had been induced to conceal it under an apprehension that if
it were known he had been guilty of such an act all chance of mercy
would be denied him._
