But Arnold had survived, and he came now to offer us his services in the cause.
As it was a pity that such correct information as that taken down in writing upon the spot should be lost (for all the other evidences, except Dr.Spaarman and Mr.Wadstrom, had spoken from their memory only), I made all the interest I could to procure a hearing for Mr.Arnold.Pleading now for the examination of him only, and under these particular circumstances, I was attended to.

It was consented, in consequence of the little time which was now left for preparing and printing the Report, that I should make out his evidence from his journal under certain heads.

This I did.

Mr.
Arnold swore to the truth of it, when so drawn up, before Edward Montague, esquire, a master in chancery.

He then delivered the paper in which it was contained to the Lords of the Council, who, on receiving it, read it throughout, and then questioned him upon it.
At this time, also, my brother returned with accounts and papers relative to the Slave-trade, from Havre de Grace; but as I had pledged myself to offer no other person to be examined, his evidence was lost.
