dressed the Jury. Ile observed, that the only evi-
dence is this case was, that his Client, a Wessel in
the army, had called wish Mr. Amos ow the broker.
The latter would not swear that Colonel Bilge heard
what Amos said, and he did not put dews is his
book the name of the Colonel. If Sutherlead thneght
t►e Colonel fable for part of the loss, why did he
joie in the hoed ? Why did not he insist that the
Colonel should beer his proportion ? The partners,
by giving their bend, bad solemnly er.ksowledged
that the debt was their own.
