I came say how long that woe sayer I had advanced the

cheese drown by him upon the primmer. I hove not scan
the reespeusou sad know nothing of it incept what my
please UM ma. I bale had several dealings with the pri•
men. I do art remmabor any bona lids oonaignniesta
having bum mode to him. I had made several sales and
shipped goods to him previously to this transaction. If we
have any doubt about a mans Lill bring paid, we hold the
Mild lading. Although It is the practice to issue three
bills of lading, the one that la endorsed is the only genuine
one. We never draw more than one acceptance against a
cargo that we remit. If we had drawn on the prisoner we
should not have drawn on any one else. I know that the
prisoner has not had authority to sign the name dour inn
to bills of lading. I know the pruners writing; I balers
the writing on the beck of the Mil of lading to be his.
Mr. Robiaaes-1 apprehend that I bans shown sundial

fair to state that I refrain from saying more, ea the coos le
only partly gone into. It may turn out, ea lam instructed,
that be has a complete answer to the case.
Mr. Anton and Mr. Roach were then bound in their per-

Wednesday sad, the day to which the prisoner was re-
manded.
