PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE INvEsrI-

eating COMMITTEE.
This morning, Constable T. j. Bicksler ap-
pesred before the Long committee and testified
that on the Sd instant he went to the Office Of
Justice Reese and found that the case Of Meyer
Herman Berger, for the nse of Anton Meyer,
agt. Holden appeared. He charges that the
words =" Herman Berger, for the use Of" were
added after the suit had been brought, and
after rendition of judgment Bicksler says
1t would be difficult to tell whether Reese
was bigger knave or fool, for the real plaintiff,
Meyer, might have brought the suit in his own
name for the use of another, but who ever
heard of q party bringing q suit for the use
of the real plaintiff. The note in question
forced into bankruptcy and put in jail for CON
cealing goods; and Reese ordered the alteration
of the record in order to prevent Berger's cred
ssd nots by degrees Of q ma
ice towards the deponent the said Reese has
concocted this charge against deponent, and
ice by reference to his own false and dishonest
record" and In conclusion says that Reese is
very much like the fox that got his tail cut of
and then persuaded others to have theirs cut
off, Is 1t would be much more genteel.
