I do hereby afiirm that i am deceived in a ccrtiticite Wm. M'Farland has obtained from, me, by palming a deception on me in redding said certificate. The ccr. titicate is not what I intended, -for, it only was froiirthc face of the evidence he ' at that time showed me on paper, and his own "declarations, that i said it appear ad that he was clear' ot the banking institution. Previous to -this ! had another opinion fiotu odier ..circumstances, and his own -words, and that opinion has not yet been removed, and which opinion I communicated to him on the morning of the 24th inst. That opinion as near as I now recollect was somewhat in these words. At or' about the time the bank at Lexington opened, I called on the 200 vc named M'Far
