Harry Gkshyj Matter. ^ 



T^Here appearing feveral Perfons in Court, who 

 had been taken by Roberts'^s Ship, whereof 

 the Prifoner was Matter, their Evidence was accept- 

 ed as follows. 



Jo. Traherriy Commander of the King Solomon^ de- 

 pofed, the Prifoner, indeed, to aft as Matter of the 

 Pyrate Ship (while he was under Reftraiut there j 

 but was obferved like no Matter, every one obey- 

 ing at Difcretion, of which he had taken Notice, 

 and complained to him, how hard a Condition it 

 was, to be a Chief among Brutes and that he was 

 weary of his Life, and fuch other Expreflions, (now 

 out of his Memory as Ihew'd in him a great 

 DifincHnation to that Courfe of LiV-ing. 



Jo. Wingfieldy a Prifoner with them at Caldfar^ 

 fays the fame, as to the Quality he a3:ed in, but 

 that he was Civil beyond any of them, and verily 

 believes, that when the Brigantine he ferved on 

 Board of, as a Faftor for the African Company, was 

 voted to be burnt, this Man was the Inftrument of 

 preventing it, expreffing himfelf with a great deal of 

 Sorrow, for this and the like malicious Rogueries 

 of the Company he was in ^ that to him Ihewed, 

 he had afted with Relu&ancy, 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 impofed on him, he op- 

 pofed, and prevented it. And that Hunter ^ another 

 Surgeon, among them, was cleared at the Prifoner's 

 Inftance and Perfwafion • from which laft, this De- 

 ponent had it alTured to him, th^t Glasby had once 

 been under Sentence of Death, on Board of them, 

 with two more, for endeavouring an Efcape in the 

 Weft-lndks^ and that the other two were really Ihot 

 for it*
