ing Mr.. J. Davis to come forward against
next court,as witness relative to an agree
ment for timber, as be says, between An
drew Bartle and William S,oops that he
will pay Mr. Davis's travelling expences,
SC. This Mr. Stops does with view to
bias the minds of the public-as he well
knows that he never made any agreement
for the timber that have brought suit a.
gainst him for. The timber that he aliudes
to is that he so feloniously and clandestire-:
ly bore off without any leave from me what
ever. He has told some persons that he had
bought the timber, and others that he had
borrowed il however, between the buy
ing and borrowing, it has been nearly two
years since the timber was taken, and only
about one year since found it out.
