that the order was for money. The
Court over-rulpd the motion, as the
charge in the indictment is for forg-

intent to defraud is the real question.
James Price testified that he never
gave the order. An order for S11 was
offered in evidence, which defendant
also presented to Mr.. Roger, and get
scrip for it. at the same time he pre-
sented the five dollar order. Price tes-
titled that he had given defendant the
S11 order, but it was for only 81 when
he gave it, and it had been raised by
putting another figure 1 after the dol

fendant testified in his own case be-
fore Esq. Bingham, and admitted that
he had raised this order.
