ed 1t to a. Stewart, Esq, to receive the
balance, eighty dollars-both payments
charged as paid by said Brown, on the
back of said order, in Browns handwrit-
ing-and said D. Brown says in his state
ment, after the trial, (Which statement
have in my possession, that it is charged
to you on the books of the Stage Com
Ipany at Wheeling, and credited to him,
said Brown, on said books, together with
the necessary vouchers. The books of
course will show the whole matter, as there
was onl y one order on that company, or
on said Brown. But sir, in the case of
Graham against the Cumberland Road,
you presented an order and stated on oath
that the order you held in your hand was
the order you gave me on Brown, and that
you lifted the order and gave your receipt
for it, and kept it back for this suit to de-
feat me. This was about eight years be-
fore the suit was brought-but you forget
that was the first time you advertised
Well sir, it was included from the 1st day
Of May, 1912, to the last day Of April
| lS43. Then was charged with 250 dol
lars, and the I'd time you advertised was
from the first of May, 1343, to the 3Ist
December, 1874. Then you charged me
with S233,95 cents-and [ have these or
ders all to the above Brown order, which
Is the genuine one. Truth is mighty and
Will prevail. You also stated that the
money was your own, as you never set
tied with the road for the same, but kept
it back for the purpose above stated
Sir, it was the only order ever demanded
Of me, for [ never thought of orders when
L saw the very sum that l always reserved
from the road master advertised in the
papers annually, according to the act of
Assembly passed for the purpose.
There are many other things scarcely
worth mentioning. Thomas McGrath and

the stone on the road, and you Searight
measured them again yourself If Mr..
M'Grath and [ quarreled and you meas
ured the stone, l never knew it, or heard
Of either till you Searight gave in your
evidence above stated. M'Grath and I
never quarreled. M'Grath will show that
part, and the order will show for itself
Sir, although you boasted Of your four
executions, and that you whipped me out
in every thing, and you used me with the
worst of severity and wreaked your ven
geance hard against me, now state as a
neighbor, that [ neither wish to disgrace
you or your family. All l want is the
hard earnings, and as far as [ am conccr- (
ned, you may fall in the hands of some
one else, by paying me what is justly
coming to me. If you had taken the ad-
vice Mr.--Esq., givenyou in my pres
ence, in UniontOwn, to pay me the amount
you owed me, and Mr.--also told me
that Mr.--told you to pay me, but
you disregarded all of us, as you knew
better what to do yourself; but as [ have
said before, truth IS mighty.
The order is before me. and it is the
genuine order, and without mistake-and
you know what purpose l intend to make
fit, if justice is not done me in the above.
Take your own course, and if this prop
osition is not complied with, [ will take
my course. What ever you will do will be
to me, as l have often told you,
that if Hugh Keys and you quarreled,
that was 10 reason why you and [ should
quarrel; for did all that was in my pow
