! | would further state that the Offices OF
Clerk and Receiver are distinct and sep
arate Offices; that have some time since
resigned the latter office and my successor
is the Bank, and the Clerk, whoever may
be elected, will not be Receiver. The duty
Of the Receiver was to receive and loan out
money paid into Court in a cause where tie
right to it is to be settled. It may be IN
derstood from Mr.. Cochran's card that there
are bidder fortunes in my hands acithoaa
owners, and Of which ''the public are KEPT
in blissful ignorance but [ humbly sug-
gest that as the parties interested know all
about the funds in Court, it can be no crime
that the public curiosity, if there is any,
has not been gratifed.
