this to the two proceeding checks. For the
prisoner it was sworn by several witnesses
that he was man of illustrious family and
conuexions--and it was attempted to be
proved that he had received the last check
from Frenchman, who however swore ia
absolute denial of this charge, and was
confirmed by strong evidence of witnesses
