in the month of March last, as commenting officer
of detachment of Volunteers from the State Of
Tennessee, ordered by the President OF the United
States for the protection of the lower country, and
few days before the troops started on their return
to Tennessee he summoned as garnishee in the
suit aforesaid, that his duty nperously required his
accompanying the volunteers to Tennessee, conse-
quently he could not appear ut the time to which
| he was summoned, but he made statement on oath
and left with his attorney TO be presented to the
court, and did hope that statement would have dis
charged him, it was thereby shown to be to the
court that he owed the defendant A. Burr nothing.
! Your respondent now shows to your hands by the
annexed affidavit of William Eason, that the said
| Aaron burr is indebted to him the amount OF five
hundred dollars and upward, and which your res
pondent positively states is the fact. But lest
these statements should not be satisfactory to the
courtyour respondent is willing to answer on oath
under an order Of court, inerrogatories to be filled
by the court that plaintiff, and this he prays may
be ordered by your honors, as it will be out OF the
power Of your respondent TO appear at the ensuing
term Of said court, in consequence OF bis being now
under orders TO command an expedition against the
Creek indians, and viii march in five six days.

that he does not appear, but the reasons before sta
