1 John Gache, English merchant of Hierro, was also summoned, and gave evidence to the effect that he had been engaged to act as interpreter to the English prisoners who had confessed that they were English and not Scotch; that they had come from Saltash with a cargo of cloth and sardines to Teneriffe, and were to take a return cargo of wine; that some say they are robbers, others that they are spies. Other witnesses summoned declared the Englishmen to be pirates.

2 The case does not appear to have been carried further. The charge against the accused was of holding intercourse with and supplying food to heretics. For a similar offence—that is, of having had commerce with certain English pirates—Sebastian Garcia was sentenced in 1587 to verguenza—that is, to be paraded through the streets, stripped to the waist, while the town crier proclaimed the offence, of which the culprit had been found guilty.
