ARREST OF A Prominent CITIZEN on Sc.
Rlous CuARGE-lIE Is EXAMINED AND HONOR
ABLY DlSCHARGED.-Mr Thomas Potts, oI
the firm of \. y. Stokes & Co., was yeSter
day arrested upon complaint of Dir. Il. &
Farley, Of Gloucester county, charging him
with falsely swearing TO Il claim against the
estate Of said Farley, who is in bankruptcy
Mr.. Potts went before Commissioner Atkins,
and the charge was thoroughly y'investigated
and he was honorably discharged.
Before the war Me>srS Il. G. Farley, JAS
Is. Marshall, and Frank Potts (brother of Mr.
Thos. Potts. were engaged iii business in Pc
terSbur" under the tirm-name of Potts, Far
ley Il Co. When the war commenced they
were indebted to the New York Steam Su
gar Refining Company in 4 considerable
amount, and in 1870 they closed the account
by giving the company note for the sum o
s., ,525 81. payable on demand, with Interest
from 1861. About two years ago Mr.. Far
ley went or was forced into bankruptcy
and siuce that time Mr. Marshall has alst
been put into bankruptcy.
The note was held here by MesSrS. John
ston. Williams, and Boulware, attorneys,
and they agreed to sell it for $3.50. MesSrs
Marshall and Potts being anxious to get pos
session Of 1.-THE former fearing that II
might prove to be Il valid claim against hi:
homes,ead-Mr. Marshall gave Mr.. Frank
Potts 5000 to aid him in buying it. The
holders required for the note cash or un'
doubted security, and Mr.. Frank Potts
turned over to Mr.. Thomas Potts the 5000,
and asked him to buy the note and hold il
until he and Marshall could make other ar
rangements. The latter purchased the note
and it was duly assigned to him.
As the owner OF the note, Mr.. Thomas
Potts proved it against the estate Off. G. Far
ley in bankruptcy, and in doing so took tht
usual oath that the note was justly due him
and no part thereof had been paid. Th
commissioner held that the 5000 was used il
getting the note placed in friendly hands
and that it had not been paid on account o
the note. Accordingly, Mr. Potts was hon
orably discharged from custody, nothin:
whatever appearing to cast the slightest stS
picon upon the fairness and hohc$ly Of hi
motives in the transaction.
