This place of reference was solely

During the summer, parties indebt-

teddy went into liquidation, and our
claims PRAYED to be a total loss. As
sets esteemed good by ourselves and
our bankers in the month of April 1861
proved an utter loss before November
of that year, to an amount far greater
than the liabilities of the firm at the
date of the suspension. The state
ments of Mr.. Halliday in his testimony
as to the losses of the firm Outing the
summer of 1861, are utterly false, and
were based upon guess work or manu-
factured in spirit of malice. He had
