	The prisoner Walter Howell asked: Q. Did you hear me speak to Captain Galloway in any ill language? A. No. I was not close enough to hear any words that were spoken between     them. Q. Did you see the Captain beat me? A. Yes, with a big stick.

	Q. Did you hear me give the Captain any ill language on shore? A. All that I saw, I was making a tiller for the pinnace, and the prisoner was     laying down on the ice, alongside of the tent. Captain Galloway shook     him two or three times with his foot and told him to get up and called     him a drunken rascal. He did not give any answer nor get up. The Captain     then took his sword and hit him twice with a flat part of it. The Captain     then ordered him to be taken to his tent and lashed down and I did not     see him until he was released and came back to his tent.

Mark Denis, seaman of His Majesty's late ship Penelope called in and sworn.

	Q. Did you hear me give any ill language to the Captain on shore? A. No, but I saw Mr Honnor run after him and beat him with the sharp end     of a pike, he made a thrust at him, and the sharp end went into his     jacket. Captain Galloway ordered him to be confined, which he was,     hands and feet on the snow. The Court asked: Q. Did you hear the Captain tell the prisoner to go away? A. Walter Howell, David Taylor and Thomas Edwards were standing together     and the Captain said to them "Go to hell, I have no more occasion for     you." Q. Who was then present? A. We were all mustering, the Officers were present. They were standing     around the tent. Q. When was this? A. It was after he was released in the evening.

Thomas Edwards, seaman belonging to His Majesty's late ship Penelope called in and sworn.

The prisoner Walter Howell asked: Q. Did you hear the Captain tell me to go away about my business and he would give me no provisions? A. Yes, and I was ordered to go away myself, but I did not go away.
