Le document atteste que Martin Lermet, Dominique Le Blanc et Pierre De Ratzou ont été interrogés sous serment par John Greenway, commissaire de la Cour de l'Amirauté, leurs dépositions étant fidèlement rédigées par George Augustus Prosser, notaire public, avant d'être transmises à la cour. Cette procédure a été effectuée conformément à une commission préalablement mentionnée et les dépositions ont été interprétées par James Bucknall, garantissant ainsi la véracité des propos recueillis, parce que les déposants ne comprennaient pas l'anglais.
