John Preston, who was siockholderol the bank and was the Attorney who had brought the suit against me; by Andrew ,. Greer. since dead, but then sloekholder. and Prosecuting Attorney for the circuit; by Col. Henry L. Biscoe, President of the bank, and of course a stockholder, aHd by Judge Sebastian; who was the Attorney of the bank when this note was presented for acceptance to the bank Had these gentlemen thought was guilty of forgery.er perjury in this matier, would they all have united in fecom- mending me to his Excclencv for so impor- tant t station as that of the Jutgeshipa No, their high character and standing in society as gentlemen forbid the idea, l was appoint cd Judge, and continued to act until my time expired, to the satisfaction of the people and the bar
 But 1t has been reserved to that Pi1lk of honesty and decency, that hater of every thing mean, to detect in this transaction thal have committed perjury t,oice and forgery once Suppose, for arguments sake, that did swear that had authority to sign my mother-in- laws name to note, and then afterwards swore that had no such authority. One or the other oath must be true. Both cannot be false, for either had or had not authority to sign her name. Yet Weller would have 1t that 1 swore falsely twice. He Is q nice man 10 pass judgment upon mems conduct. He Is a fine specimen of inteHigence and hoaesfB.  him. lam willing to bear whatever of blame may justly attach 10 me in relation to this af- fair. ifaany l6r to err is human, but 10 forgive Is divine.
