Christi in small craft or other vessels for sale are the produce of the French lands in
Hispaniola, and are so brought there only for sale, as persons inclinable to purchase
usually go on board the small craft to bargain for them without their being landed

[227] THE SEA FLOWER.
A British ship sailed from New York to Monte Christi, where the outward cargo
was sold by the master and supercargo to Spanish merchants, and the principal part
of the returned cargo purchased of them. The master being asked whether the
supercargo'was at St. Dauphin during the ship's stay at Monte Christi refused to
answer ; the other witnesses said they believed the supercargo did go to St. Dauphin.
The master said that during his stay at Monte Christi he received several letters from
Cape Francois, but not relating to said brig or her cargo, and being of no consequence
he destroyed them before he left Monte Christi. This ship was taken in her voyage
from Monte Christi to Hamburg and carried into Jamaica, where the cargo was
condemned but the ship released.

thereof paid to the claimant.

cargo of provisions and lumber, which she there unladed and took on board 10 negro
slaves and £700 Barbados currency in cash, with which cleared for Guadaloupe, but
sailed to Monte Christi, where she arrived in February 1760, and in her return was
taken by an English man-of-war. The master in his deposition said there was laden
on board his ship at Monte Christi 170 or 180 hogsheads of molasses, and there was
on board his ship when he sailed from Barbados several empty casks for molasses,
which were put on board two sloops at Monte Christi, which sailed thence for some
French port, as he believes, when they were filled with molasses, and brought back
to Monte Christi and received on board said ship. There was a receipt signed by
