count, was rum' iyed in.the action by the plaintiff. The en-
dorsement signified the solicitor's consent, under the an-
dimity of the plaintiff, to are diseharge of the defendant.
The mean appearance of the prisoner, and the circumstance
of the evtraordivary mistake which rendered an amended
sitinaious necessary. led the witness to suspect the integrity
.of tke dealing; he accordingly rejected the prisoner's appli-
. cation to him to make nut the order for the discharge of the
