Bazar; some Sepahies came & seized me there I asked why & they charged me with this murder. I told them I was not the master, they took me to the line, bound me & beat me. I asked by whose order & they said the major’s meaning Capt: Scott’s. I desired to be [ILL] to the Major, or to Nundo Loll, who was living they refused. I have no Wts – God is my Wts. I confessed it before Capt: Scott. [ILL]
The Sepahies had beat me to make me say so; & tho they did not beat me before Capt: Scott, my hands were then bound.
