My lord, I will tell you what the case was. I was coming up within a league of the Dutchman, and some of my men were making a mutiny about taking her, and my gunner told the people he could put the captain in a way to take the ship, and be safe. -William Kidd

This ship was a league from us, and some of the men would have taken her, and I would not consent to it, and this Moore said I always hindered them making their fortunes. Was that not the reason I struck him? Was there a mutiny on board?

William Kidd

I had all the provocation in the world to kill... I had no malice or spleen against him... It was not designedly done, but in my passion, for which I am heartily sorry.
