I ask you again—and pray be careful in answering, for you are upon your oath, I need hardly remind you —were you not in difficulties some months ago ? “ Noa, not as I knows of.” “ Sir, do you pretend to tell this Court that you did not make a composition with your creditors a few mouths ago ?” “Oh!ah !” a bright smile of intelligence spreading over the ingenuous countenance of the witness—“ that’s what you mean is it ? But, you see, it were my creditors as were i’ the difficulties then and not me.” H. EXLEY, aENEEAL CAEEIEE, FOEWAEDING and EECEIVING AGENT, TIMAEU. Expresses meet all Trains North and South.
