The merchant named Benedetto Dondedeo testifies on behalf of Caterina de Bargalio that he had first encountered the enslaved Maria, from the Canary Islands, on the island of Gomera. Benedetto had gone to Gomera on the vessel of Raffaele Lomellini, which was patronized by Napoleone Cicala, about four years earlier and had briefly been taken captive by the lord of Gomera. After obtaining his freedom Benedetto travelled to the islands of Feurteventura and La Palma where he encountered the enslaved Maria working as a household servant for a certain Maria, the wife of a Portuguese merchant and daughter of Diego Errera, the lord of the Canary Islands. Benedetto testified that this Maria wanted to sell the enslaved Maria to him, but he did not have the money to make the purchase. The enslaved Maria was then sent to Puerto de Santa María on the same vessel as that of Benedetto. He then testified that he was witness of the sale of the enslaved Maria by the merchant named Juan de Mallorca, acting as the procurator for the slaveholder Maria, to Antonio de Bargalio and that it was well known that the enslaved Maria worked afterwards as a servant for Antonio de Bargalio in Puerto de Santa María.
