In sendon the schedule & evidence of Charles Johnson for the purpose of getting him placed on the Pension List, which I will thank you to attend to — He mentions in his declaration that his evidence is Ezek Earl & Jonathan Wright — He had obtained Earl's affidavit before Judge Palmer & left it with him — Earl died soon after & Palmer lost his affidavit & it was not until a day or two since that he has been able to procure other evidence — I make this explana- tion to show why the evidence is not the same mentioned in his Schedule and it is also the reason why he has not applied before
