Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I hoki mai a Spreul i Hōlani kia mau ai i tana wahine me ana tamariki ki Rotterdam. I te 12 o Whiringa-a-rangi 1680, i hopukina ia e nga tangata e rapu ana mo Donald Cargill, ka kawea ki mua o te Kaunihera, ka tirotirohia, ka whakamamaetia i mua i te Komiti o to raatau nama. E kore e whiwhi ia ki te whaki i te mea i hiahia ratou e whakamamae ia i roto i te hu hou, ka tonoa e ratou mo te kotahi tawhito, ka whakamamaetia ia ano; a ka rite angitu ki reira, Dalziel whakapae e manakohia ana e te kaitiaki ia; i runga i nei kaitiaki ka mea, patua e ia ki tona kaha katoa, ka whakahau ia ki te tango i te hama ia ki te mahi i te reira pai. I te 2 o Poutu-te-rangi 1681, i whakawakia a Spreul i mua i te Kooti Nui o te Kooti mo te whakapae mo te tinihanga me te tutu, mo te whakapae i uru atu ki te whakaekenga i
Ko te Piriti o Bothwell. Heoi, i taka te whakamatau, a, i whakahokia mai he whakatau e kore e whakamatautauria e te kaunihera. Ko te roia a Spreul ko Lockhart; ko te hunga kaore i mohio ki nga kooti kaore i utua he roia. I runga i tenei, kaua ki te whakaorangia, i puritia tonu ia hei herehere; a, i runga i te kupu whakapae o te noho ki nga huihuinga o te mara, i utua ia mo te £ 500, ka tukuna ki te Bass, na te mahi a te Kaunihera Privy, Hurae 14, 1681. I tuhia te whakahau mō te kawe i te 16 o Akuhata 1681. I haere tonu ia ki konei mo te tata ki te ono tau. Ko te ture o te Kaunihera mo tana whakaoranga i tuhia i te 12 o Mei 1687. Ko ia te herehere whakamutunga i tukuna mai i te Bass. He maha nga tau i ora ai ia i te Revolution.
