be pald before May; have no recollection OF giving
! Mr. W. other notes; it was to enable him t. close
his account that gave him note an allowed inter
est so he should lose nothing. May, after
| allowing counsel to examine, then said he would
offer in evidence, the book Of Sheriff Gaskns,
| showing the amount paid Mr.. W., and the time Of
payment. The counsel on the other side admitted
the signature of Mr.. Whitney, but would not admit
the book. 1t was difficult to get an explanation
OF the book on account of the illness of Mr.. Gas
kins and the death of Mr.. Dorsey, his former clerk
He would. however, endeavor to prove
| the books as that of Mr.. Gaskins, and
that it contained his accounts.--Mr. Charles
Roberts, deputy clerk Of the Court
put upon the stand, and after looking at the
! book, said be believed the summary of the account
of Mr. Whitney had been written by Mr.. Dorsey;
| he could not say of his own knowledge if Mr.. Dor
| sey was clerk for Sheriff Gaskins.-Thomas H.
| Moore recalled.-Book examined Think recognize
writing in book to be that of Sheriff Gaskins' be-
eve it to be statement of his accounts; some of
the writing looks like Dorsey's; never saw book
before to my knowIedge.-Mr Pitts here
said the only difficulty was as to
question of dates. The settlement as
regarded the amounts set down were all correct.
Inc date OF the payment as on the book was made
on the 18th OF April, 1883, but it was not really
made until '59.--Mr. May said the book was
proved and showed that the traverser received so
much money in the year 1858, which money was
not returned in his report.--Mr. Pitts said it was
not returned in '5Sbecause Mr.. Whitney could not
get final settlement with Caskins until long after
the date of the receipt the book, which was made
out by Gaskns, who after making it was not in a
condition for long time to attend to business at ALL
After some discussion, Mr. Whyte said, they would
by Mr.. Moore show that Mr.. Gaskns had made out
a receipt in the same way, in the settlement of
Moore's accounts, and that the receipt was dated
long anterior to the final settlement. MIR. Moore
then stated that his term of office expired in 1851
and he did not get final settlement with Gaskns,
until thirteen or fifteen months afterwards. When
be signed the book of Gaskins', which he did
at at Gaskins' house, the receipt haa been
dated, GaksinS nod t,a hn,

this he had called frequently at Gaskins' house.

IN hospital for a considerable tme.-Ex- Sheriff
Creamer, sworn.-Mr. Creamer produced state
ment giving the items paid by him to Mr. Pink.
ney and to Mr.. Whitney. The final settlement with
Mr.: W hitney was not made until the 10Th of May
1860, on account of a discrepancy in the accounts
between us; Mr.. Whitney always recognized these
payments to Mr.. Pinkney; never had settlement
with Mr.. Whitney at the end of each term; the ac-
count run on two years.-Mr. Creamer then gave
the figures OF the amounts received for Mr. Whit.
ney, as fees, during the two years referred to- Be-
