              0fefe VOLUME XXX. COLUMBUS, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 12, 1810. NUMBER 34. REPORT OF THE MINORITY. . The undersigned, mombere of the committee appointed to investigate rhe chargea preferred against William B. Lloyd, a member of the House of Representatives, from the county of Cuyahoga, respectfully submit the following s REPORT: .. That while thoy cordially united with the other members of the committee in presenting the testimony taken before thorn, during the investigation, unaccompanied by any remarks, thereby leaving to the discriminating intelligence of ench member of the House to decide for himself, they as cheerfully yield a willing obedience to the subsequent order of the House in presenting the lionest convictions and conclusions of their own judgment in the premises, from the facta disclosed, by the 'teatimony. From the teatimony and the inspection of the books eubmitlrd to the committee, the following 'facta are clearly exhibited, to wit: That there hnve been numerous alterations of both 'original and transfer entries. lalfBy erasures with a knife. 2d: by changing figures, standing as ihe price f articlcschargedin the account without erasure. 3d: By interlineation. 4th: By erasing out with linea with-ont obliterating. By the testimony of the few witnesses who were permitted by the committee to examine the booka in their presence, these various alteration were 'detected on the one page of the leger on which atands Mr. Lloyd's account, embracing both debit and credit, to the number of twelve or fourteen inatances, and by a critical examination of tho same page msny more aro perceptihle. The first question which would naturally arise in the mind of an iiinuircr after truth, na a disclosure of these facta would be, by whom and for what purpose were these alterations made? A satisfactory solution of the latter brauch of thia question must reat upon the one or the other of the following alternatives: First, they may have been made in the ereacoce or with the aaseut of the partica intereated. in the account, for the correction of admitted errors or secondly, they must have been improperly and wrongfully made to correct entriea claimed to hnve been erroneous by one party, and not a'! lilted to bo such by the other or thirdly, they must hove been wickedly and corraptty made i ill the baae design of injuring and defrauding a fellow being. To suppose that all these altcrationa could have been carelessly or accidentally made, would be stretching our imaginations to the ntmost verge of human credulity. It is specifically charged that in two in-stances whera these alterations occur on the credit side of the leger, thoy were made by William B. Lloyd; to ascertain the. truth or falsehood of which allegations, has been the subject of investigation before the committee. Without going into critical review of the evidence generally, we shall give a concise sketch of the testimony of the two principal witnesses relied on to sustain he charge, and ataie tho prominent facta and ircumatancoe disclosed during the investigation, which have carried the strongest conviction to our minds of the utter absurdity and falsity of the charge. It will be readily admitted by all who will examine the evidence, that the charges preferred, reat comely npon the represcntatiuna and testimony of the two Newtona, father, and aim, and that if confidence cannot be placed in their atatemcnta the whole fabric falls to the ground, having no foundation or eemblnnce of support to sustain it. Isaac Newton, the father, testifies that the booka exhibited to the committee containing the account against William B. Lloyd, were hia proper account books, while keeper of the American Hotel in Cleveland. That the entries therein, were sometimes made by his two sons and the varioua bar k'eepera in hia employ that his regular book keeper was Mr. Ewers that he assigned the account againat Lloyd to hia son James that he supposed the account correct that after aid asaignmcnt, on the morning of the 31st of November, being at his son's store, Jamca came in and desired him to examine Lloyd's sccount, aa Mr. Llnyd thought he could not satisfy him it was not correct he went into an examination with hia son, and spent some fifteen or twenty minutes, and found them aa he auppoacd, correct. Ilia son then went away with the booka. He tates that the credit which is now $B, wae then $20, and the credit which now stands $'.11), waa then $10. At the auggeation of hiaaon, he went theevoningof cue aame day to tho ottica oi rayne and wilaon, and again looked at the account and found the alterations above specified did not see the books from the time hia on took them away in the morning, until he saw them in Payne and Wilson's office in tho evening does not know who made the alterations. On cross examination, he aaya there waa an eraaure of a bottle of porter posted to Mr. Lloyd's account, and an error in the footing, which waa corrected. In answer to the queation, whether there were not other alterationa in the account, ha aaya, "none that he knew o." On being called then to examine the book before the committee and aee if he could not perceive other alterationa made in the books which were pointed out tohim, he atatea that the fig-urea f 1.1 SO looked aa if they had been blurred by shutting the book, and thattlie word "Sept." had bien written heavily, or it had been altered from some other word eava the alterationa firat referred to by him, of (29 and $'J0, did not altor the footings, the alterationa not being extended or carried out that aaid altcrationa were not made in the day book from which the iteme of credit had been transferred to the leger, and that the alterationa if not discovered could have made no difference in the ottlement, the account being all footed, and if the alterationa had been discovered it would hsve been corrected by the dsy book, and no injustice done. He stated, however, that in a certain way the alterationa might make a great difference. If Lloyd had made a proposition to settle the account by taking the debt ana credit aa they then atood and atriking the balance and giving judgment for the amount. Jamea W. Newton, the aon, testifies that the booka came into hi hands by asaignmcnt from hia father, about the middlo of Hr-'ptember last, that he aoon after called on Llovd with a memorandum of the account. atating the debt and credit, and allowing a balance of aoout $t5. Mr. Lloyd expressed hia aurpnse at the amount claimed aa due from him, supposed the balance due waa not more than tenor fifteen dollars, thought that all the moneya paid by him to Mr. Kwera had not been credited. On Mr. Kwera' return from the cast, the witness stated to him that Mr. Lloyd thought there waa not aa niuch money credited to him aa he had paid. Mr, Ewera examined the account and found nothing but what waa right aa far aa he knew. After repeated examination of the account for errora, and finding only a slight one in posting, by mistake, a botile of porter to Mr. Lloyd's account, and leaving with him the memo randum oi the account, he requested Mr. J.loyd to get hia receipts fur the money he had paid on the account, which he agreed to do. After Mr. Lloyd had been in possession of the account aome days, witness cslled on mm again, examined the items in account together, Mr. I.UviT not having found any receipt lor moneya not credited, ha claimed certain deductiona for wine charccd him which he auunoaed he had not received, aa at the period they were churged in the account, he was unwell and the use of wine was prohibited by his phvsician. After refusing to make any deductions, .Mr. I.lnyd said he could settle the balance if witness should sue him, by offsetting a judgment in his hsnds againat Mr. Newton, the father, and referred to hia law books to show that such offset could be made. Witneas took the memorandum of the ao. count he had before given to Mr. Llovd and went away i called at Pavne and Wilson'a office and inquired if the offset of a judgment against his father could be made as repreaented by Lloyd, and waa informed by Mr. ,. ...v.. mm ii cuuiu him, aim men uirrcieu mm 10 commence a auit against Mr. Lloyd for the balance of the account. Suit wis commenced beforo A. U. Smith, Esq., of which Lloyd received notice, and before the hour of trial, ca led on witneaa while at hia broiher'a atore, and appeared angry at him for commencing auit mane vanoi. propositions tor settlement nut could not airree upon Inu terms. Thennlv nroDoailion rarnllpntrd by witness wss to give fifty dollars. Thia offer waa made on condition that witneaa ahould give him another copy oi tlie account, the aame aa he had taken away before. This the witneas declined duino. as he l.lovd. had had abundant time to have examined it while in liia po- ion ociore. mr. i.ioyo tiau ueairct witneaa to be very critical in examining the account for errora, and Witness had used the Cnnv of the aeronnt tnkon from Lloyd to make entry of the names of the persons who nan maue me original entrtea on the hooka by thit meana it had become defaced on the debit side, and wit noes toro it otf and destroyed it and preserved the pari wnicn ne now produced Dctore the oommil' tee. 1 hey then parted and witneaa toon after went to the office of the magistrate, in company with Wilson, hia attorney, fi.und Lloyd there wailing for them, who immediately demanded of the magistrate a non-auit, because they wore ten minutes later than the time appointed : non-auit waa refused. Witneaa then asked for an adjournment for a few dava, to procure a witness who waa abaent from town, which waa accordingly granted, fortwo days, or until the tl3d of Noember, Previous to leaving the tilficc, Mr. Llovd requested wilnesa to bring ....hi me mums and leave them at hiaolhre lor examination, tU ,e IIL,I,, ,...;., them ami he niiafi..,! nl their riirrcctnraa. Tins the witm ss considered improper ..-. ......... n , u, (M,i llllu ,nill tnighl exiiiiiini' the booka at hia broiher'a store whors thev were keui. ai at any lima, or ha would take them to Pavne and Wil- enn'a office for examination. To the laat proposi.ion Mr. Lloyd asaented. Witness went immediately to hia brother'a sfore for the books seeing hia father there, told him he waa going to submit the booka to Lloyd's inspect Von and reeducated hie fafherto crsamifte them, to ace if any thing vne there which Mr. Lloyd could find fnull with. Ilia father made the examination and said Mhe could ttt nothing (hat appeared wrong?1 Witneaa closed the leger and took it with two day books te ihe offioe of Payne and Wilaon. Lloyd waa notthere when 'he arrived but earne in aeon after. Witneaa opened tho leger to the pagw where his account waa entered and Lloyd proceeded to examine the aame at the table. Not wishing to appear impatient, witneaa spent hia time in Waking at a map and some booka. Daring the examination by Mr. Lloyd, he frequently called on witneas to explain maitsra in regirra lOTrre entries in tne account, for which purpoae witneas remavneil in the offioe. The examination lasted about an hour and a half. Witneaa came at last and took a Beat near Mr. Lloyd, when he arose from hia chair and aaid he could spend aa more time in the examination, aaid hn diacovered no errora. Aa Mr. Lloyd stood heldingtliclcger partially opened it the pago of hie account, and the hand of the witneaa resting on the aame, Mr. Lloyd observed, thatthoogh he perceived no orrnrs, he still thought the wines should be deducted. Mr. Lloyd then proposed that I ahauld with draw the auit from Esq. Smith, and put the booka into tne hands ol r.sq. ttoadly, another magistrate, who should examine them, and he would confess judgment fur such balance aa the booka then showed, deducting ten or fifteen dollara for the wince before roferrod to. if the balance was found correct. The amsll nvemoran- dam of balance tn pencil marx the stood npon the leger Jfi8 33. While Mr. Lloyd wae makinr this prop osition, witness cast his eyes on the account, and perceived that aa the book then stood, there waa evidently an error on the lower line of the credits, and looking again ne perceives tnai tnere nail nocn aa alteration made, having the appearance af being recently done-hesitated same time before he replied to the proposition, and then aaid, he thoaght they had better make no further nttcmpta to settle the account, and added- that ha could not remove the auit from Esquire Smith, as it wouia oe treating mm witu too mucn disrespect. Mr. Llnyd replied that I m;ght do aa I pleased, and left the office. Aa aoon as he had cloaod the door after him. witness spoke to Mr. Payne, who atood near him. ami called hia attention immediately to the alteration which nao Deenniadei recollects the expression made to Mr. Payne when he pointed out the alteration in the booka to be thia, "see where Ihe damned rascal has been altering my booka!" recotloete the expreaaion because ne ecioom used an oatn, and only when he waa very much astonished and surprised. Mr. Llnyd had a email pieceof paper lyingon tho leicrdunne hia examination. on which he appeared to lie making figuree with a pen ins nanuaercniei wns aiso inrown ever tne leger. ihe booka remained in the office till that evening, when witneaa called with his father to look at the account to ace if ho could discover any alteration. Up to that time, witneaa had discovered no other alteration than changing a $10 to $ ;n, on the credit aide of the leger, which alteration waa not extended into the footing column. In the examination at that timo, witneaa diacovered the alteration from twenty to twenty-nina dollara, which alteration waa not embraced in the footinga of the aggregate amount of the accounta. No alterationa had been diacovered by witness in tho day book. Did not see the day book opened during the examination by Mr. Lloyd. On the 33d of the same month, witness appeared before the magistrate and asked a further adjournment of the case, because hia witneaa relied upon had not returned. The cause was again adjourned to the ii of December. Witneas again appeared before the magistrate on the second day of December, "icilA hit books, and tueh wit-nesset at he thought necessary, and obtained judgmentor the balance of the account, without regard to ihe altera' tiom which had been made on the books;" aftcrwarda took out execution, but found no property on which to levy. When further inquired of, witneaa atatcs that he carefully examined the booka the evening of the 2(lih of November, and slightly, with his father, on the following morning, and that the intermediate time between these periods they were secured in an iron safe. In answer tn a subsequent education, whether he could atate with certainty that the book waa not altered on the morning of the :i I si, when he examined it, and arao, whether it was not altered when he firat looked at it in Payne and Wilaon'a office, while Lloyd was examining it t the witneas saya he "eon ttate with certainty," that they wero not altered in the morning when he took them to Payne and Wilson'a office, aa ne looked at the amount and "added up the credits." He could not atate that they wore not altered when Mr. Lloyd called hia attention to the account. In reply to the inquiry, whether the booka were altered while in the possession of Mr. Lloyd, he aaya he diil not aee the alteration made aaya the examination by Mr. Lloyd, waa about one and a half houra; aaya several peraona came into and paased through the office, end several othera were aitting hv the fire in the office, and that Mr. Gray waa aitting at the table with Mr. Lloyd, while he waa examining the booka. When further questioned, he atatea, that he diacovered the alterationa immediately after Mr. Lloyd rose from the table, and while hia hand waa on the book l that he ispon'iire the alteration! did not exiit when he look the booka to Payne and Wilson'a office ; imsitire that tliey did exiit when;he took them from the handa of Lloyd, and Bonfire that no other peraon had acceaa to them while Ihcy were in Lloyd's handat that Mr. Gray waa part of the time at the aame table with Lloyd; that whenever he noticed him he waa studying; that the distance between Llovd and Gray, waa about eight feet, the length of the table at which they wero Billing: Bays thai no permission waa aaked or given to make the alterationa. In reply to the inquiry on what lerma ho had lived with Mr. Llovd provioua lo the discovery of the alterationa on the 2 let of November, ha atatea, he had alwaye been a personal and political friend of Mr. Lloyd) thai he, however, had never been entitled to a vote for the two yea-a and a half he had lived in Cleveland, but had procured aa many votea for the entire Whig ticket aa ha could. In answer to the inquiry if, when he discovered theslteraiiona, hemado them known lo Mr. Lloyd j and why he omitted to dneot He saya, he did not; and the only reason he could give why he did not, wss, thai ho did preciacly aa any other friend of Lloyd's would hnve done, who entertained the aame opinion of him aaya he nevor let Mr. Lloyd know he had any suspicions of his altering the account before he atarted for Columbus: that he told it to Payne and Wilaon, and Umataetler, and perhsps to othera; aaya the alterationa did not change the fooling, or increaac the aggregate amount of credit re footed ; that no alterations had been discovered in the day book. On inquiry, whether if the leger had been ever so materially altered or deairoyed, tho account could not have been correctly mado out from Ihe day book, he aaya, in thia caae it would have been impnesi-ble, aa ihe original entriea for board were on the leger only, the c red us could have been all aacertained from Ihe day-book, without reference to the leger. In anawer why he look away the memorandum of the account he had once suhmitli'd to Mr. Lloyd, he enya, because Mr Lloyd's conduct convinced him he should hove to sue him, and by taking that statement of the account, would aave him the trouble of making anothor. And in anawer lo ihe further inquiry why, then, did you d-atroy it) He aaya, becauae I aiiorwards thought thai I would use lhai copy to lake down memorundunia nf the names of those who made the original entriea; after finishing this, I found il looked so battihai I preferred making another; had no oilier reason for destroying il than that it waa so mutilated aa to be unlit for uae, and did not think proper to leave it lying about the atora. In anawer to the further question, if theae were your reasons for destroying pan, why did you not destroy the whole of it) He saya, becauae I did not destroy any part until after the alterationa on the booka were made, and thought best to retain the credile. On Inquiry, why lie thought best lo retain the credits, wilnesa aaya, he had not then obtained a judgment; and thought thia copy might be of service on Irial, when Ilia queaiisn of alterations came up. Have, Mr. Llnyd never claimed any benefit of the alterationa, before the Justice, or elsewhere; and could not aav, aa far aa ha aaw, that Mr. Llovd knew thai the alterationa were made. He felt confident that no oilier person could have had an opportunity lo make the alterations, when he first discovered them; saya, on inquiry, that hia eyes were frequently withdrawn from the hooka, and from Mr. Lloyd, while' the latter was examining them ; saya thai no other peraon could have approached ihe booka at that time without hia notice. In anawer to the queation, what reasons Mr. Lloyd gave, while at his brother's store, on the Slat of November, for desiring the case to be taken to another magistrate; he aaya, Lloyd said that Esquire Smith and himaelf had long bcon enemies, and he could not gel juatice before Smith. On inquiry, what propositions Lloyd had made him for settlement, while nt hia broiher'a store, on the dsy laal referred lo, he aaya that Lloyd offered him J30 to balance the account, if he would give him anothor copy of the account, staling all the particulars. Wilnesa replied, Mai he would not tire him another ropy, but would give him a receipt of the usual kind for balance of account, Lloyd then put up hia pocket hook, and said I niiihi do aa I pleased, and went off. In answer to ihe following qmsiion, put bv Mr. Llovd: Did not Mr. Lloyd propuae, at that time, if you would diacon-linua the suit before Esquire Smith, tnd commence on before any oilier magistrate, he, Lloyd, would admit the books lo bo correct, so far aa they went, and offer receipts of a eubeoquent date, lo Ihe credit ; and also prove, or try to prove, by your father and Mr. Dickaon, a apecial contract for the price of board at aix dollars per week, instead of aeven, aa charged) Witness says, ha remembered a proposition similar to that waa made at that time, but cannot specify the exact terma of it. In reply to Ihe inquiry, to atate directly, if he pretended to aay he knew Lloyd made the alterations in the leger, he Bays ho did not sea it done, and declined anawering positively, because he wsa not in tho habit of saying ha knew a thing of thia kind without aeeing it. The committee being divided on requiring a direct anawer, no other wna given. In anawer lo the inquiry, whether he had, from timo to time, atnted to any persona out of the committee room, the aubstance of his testimony as given before the committee, he aaya, he has, since he waa aworn, occasionally informed his father. Dr. Smith, Payne and Wilson, and others who had the curiosity to inquire what progress was making in the investigation. In answer to inquiries, he aaya, he has never made uae of any ihreala, or made any complaint of ill-uaage from Lloyd, up to the time of this dispute. In anawer to the inquiry, whether, before the auil wna commenced, Lloyd did not inform him that he had notes againat "is father, aaaigncd to him previous to the pretended assignment of hia lather's accounta to himself, which ho might offer aa offsets, and did he not give notice of offset before the trial) Witness saya, that he told mo he had claims against my father, in his hands, for collodion, in which ho had an interest to the extent of his fees, which he would offer aa offset if suit was brought. In reply to ihe following question, to wit: "n tlie leger, did you, when you examined the account at your brotlier't store with yourfaUier, or before, or tinre, observe any errors, traturet, or alteration!, other than those you have named!" He sova, "7 did not; but I made some ern-iuret of bhh at that time." In answer to the inquiry, why he did not bring the day book containing tho original entriea of the first part of the account, he says, the daybook did not contain either of the entriea which have been altered, and did not aupposo it would be wanted by the committee. ( Such is tho testimony given by the two witnesses relied on to sustainlhe charge againat William B. Lloyd, of altering the two items on the credit side of the leger, and it ia tne only material evidonce disclosed during the investigation before the committee, to austain it. The teatimony of Payne, Wilson, Gray, and all the othera, only goes to ahow the foci, that the booka were examined by Lloyd, at Poyne and Wilson'a office, in the manner atatad by the last witness, James W. Newton. Neither of them had any knowledge of the books, or the alterations, except what wna obtained from tho laat named witneas, as atnted in hia teatimony. The balance of the teatimony ia of a corroborative or impeaching character, tending either Is strengthen or weaken the confidence, lo be placed upon Ihe evidence above recited. If the testimony of J. W. Newton, cannot be relied on, and tho verity of his statements cannot be confided in, there ia no other testimony on which the imagination could reat, for a moment, to austain the charge. To explain the circum-stances, and nssign the reasons by which theundcrsigned have been driven to the conclusion, that all confidence ahould be withheld from the atntementaofj. VV. Newton, they will now refer to Ihe testimony aa disclosed by him and othera, and lo the booka submitted to the inspection of the committee. The first prominent feature disclosed by the teatimony, ia the assignment of hia book accounta from Isaac W. Newton, the father, to hia aon, while there were claima againat him, in the courae of collection. On what consideration thia assignment was made, doca not appear. It appears, however, that the outstanding debts against the father, were not to be liquidated by the avails of hia own book accounta. Thia fact, of itself, however unimportant to the invcaligation before the committee, would naturally raiae a auspicion aa to the integrity of the transaction between Ihe father and son, Scon after the assignment of the booka, which wna about the middle of September, the Bon called on Mr. Lloyd for settlement of his account. In the memorandum ol the account, then handed to Mr. Lloyd, containing the debila and credits, and stating the balance due, Jamea W. Newton says Ihe balance waa about $65. Mr Lloyd exprcaaed hia surprise at the amount, and said there must be some error, aa he auppoacd the balance ' could not be more than about $15, and deaired him to i examine the books, to see il there were not some errora. Newton atatea, he made repealed examinations of the ' books, and could only discover one error, a charge of a L bottle of porter, which he corrected on the booka Thia j would, of courae, lessen the balance due. A fier varioua interviews and attempts to settle with Lloyd, in which he atatea thai Lloyd admitted that the booka were correct, and only claimed a deduction of some charges of wine, and a further credit of money paid by him on the account, he concluded he must sue him, and took from Mr. Lloyd the copy of the account he had previously left with him. Soon after, commenced a auit before Juatice Smith, to be tried on ihe Slat November. On the itt November, the doy fixed for trial, the parties appeared. Mr. Lloyd said lis waa ready lor Irial, Mr. Newton asked for an adjournment, on the ground that he could not go to irial without the testimony of hia brother Ralph, who waaabsent, hia counsel, .Mr. Wilson, staling that it waa impossible to do so. Mr. Lloyd, slating thai he muat aet out for Columbua in a few dtiye, and inaiat-ing on having a day fixed, upon which he could he pre-arnt. The magistrate atatea, that Mr. Lloyd requested Ihe copy ol the account he had previously given him, and afterwards took away from him ; that Lloyd claimed the bill of particulate there exeibited, did not agree with the former account rendered, that the bill of particulars showed a balance of $100. The Juatice also slates, that Mr. Newlon'a counsel, Mr. Wilson, then claimed a balance ol $100, and that Lloyd claimed ihe balance, by the former account, only ahowed sixty odd dollars. Mr. Wilaon also atatea in hia teatimony, that the principal dispute between Llovd and Newton, waa in ihe price charged for board, which was higher tha.i what Lloyd said the contract waa. The cause waa adjourned to the J3d of aame month. Mr. Lloyd, leady for, and urging a trial, and Mr. Newton, again claiming that he could not aafcly go lo Irial without hia witneaa, who had not returned. The cause waa again adjourned to tho ae-cond day of December, beyond the period when Lloyd could be prcacnt. On ihia dav, Mr. Newton appeared, and no one appearing for Mr. Lloyd, Ihe magistrate statea that the hooka wore produced, tho alterationa made known, and the account teatilied to by Mr. Newton himaelf, aa being correct, and aa to the alterationa on the credit aido of the leger; and judgment waa rendered in favor of Ihe plaintiff for $0)5 33 damages, and 86 cents costs. A disclosure of these facts alone, unattended by any other circumstances, would noturally arreat the attention of an honest man, and lend him to aiiBpect their uprightness and integrity. The taking away the cony of the account rendered, and refusal to return il lo Lloyd, for ihe rraaune aasigned, which were subsequently shown tn be insincere, the various amounts of balance claimed to be due, the reasons given for a continuance of the cauaa from lime lo time, until Mr. Llnyd could be got out of ihe way, and proceeding with the trial aa ei-on aa he had departed for Columhua, without calling the witneaa claimed lo be eaaential, and without whom, it had been represented, to be impossible to proceed, and fur the absence of whom, these various adjournments war.' procured, are aufiicient to characterise theae trana-actinna, to say no more, with imposition and unlairnesa. In the absence of all testimony, that there waa any other witneaa called on the trial, than Ihe party himself, who swore to Ihe correctness of the sccounls, and Ihe statements of the justice, when inquired of, and'the a-niount of coala rendered by him, all go to ahow that no other witneaa was nreaent or aubpa'noed. Newton himaelf testifies that at the trial he "produced luch witneitet at he thought nereeiary, and he obtained a judgment for the balance of hi! account, without regard to the alteration! which had been made in tlie bookt." If no other witnesses than himself were thought to be necessary on Ihe trial on the 2d of December, in the absence of Lloyd, why were they considered so ea-aeniially important on the preceding days, when Mr. Lloyd wae in attendance) Under ordinary circumetan-cea, theso occurrencea might not attract much attention, but in connection with othor facta diaclosed, thoy derive an importance and assume a chnracter which may devclojie tho whula transaction, which ia otherwise shrouded in mvstcry. It should be remembered that Mr. Newton, when he first called on Mr. Lloyd, before any dispute had arisen, presented a statement of the account, showing a balance, aa he thinks, of about 65 dollara; thai Mr. Lloyd diaputed it, and aaid he supposed the balance could not exceed 15 dollars; that Mr. Lloyd rcqucatcd him to examine hia booka, lo aee if they were correct; that he repeatedly and carefully examined them; that, in all their interviews, Mr. Newton slatea thai Mr. Lloyd made no objectiona to hia booka before or after examining them, except in the single ar-liclo of winea charged to him, and tho want of certain credita; that Lloyd aaid thcro were no other errora he could diacover in his charges. But it appenra from the teatimony of othera and those, too, who aro rolled on to austain the charges againat Mr. Lloyd that the firat time a third peraon waa prracnt with' tho partica, and heard their altercations in relation to the account, that the moat important items in diaputs between thorn was sn erroneous charge claimed by Mr. Lloyd in the price ol board ; which, he alleged, wua higher than the agreement made with hia father, and thai he could or would try lo prove it lo be so. Mr. Wilson atatea the fact, that Mr. Newton, when colled on under cross-examination, admita there waa a proposition made by Lloyd involving the aame objections to the price of board aa charged in hia account, although he had entirely omitted tore-memb-r it in elating the propositions made by Lloyd, or in any part of hia atatemcnta in regard lo the objectiona raised by Mr. Lloyd to his account aa presented.' The reasons for thus studioualy concealing Inia important matter will readily bo Been, when the startling fact is disclosed, that the original entriea of the price of board, aa made in the leger, where Newton statea they wore all made, have been altered, in two instances, by making $7 instesd of $6, in one instance, and changing from $4 to $7, in the othor. In both theae cases, tho . original figures are still perceptible, though nearly cov-' ared over by the alterations to 7. It was also discovered by Mr. Saltonatall,book-keep-er In the Commercial Bank of Lake Erie, in hia hasty exominotion of the books before the cominiilcc, that two credits to Mr. Lloyd, on the day-book, under the dale of Feb. 24, of $ 4 and $1C, were not tranaferred to the leger under corresponding datea; and the undersigned, after a careful examination of Ihe books, cannot find the $16 entry carried into ihe leger account at all. Allowing thia amount of credit not carried into Ihe account, and deducting the excess of the altered chargea in the price of board, and putting the other charges for board at 6 dollars per week, as claimed by Mr. Lloyd to have beon the agreement, the bolonce ol the account would not vary materially from the amount supposed to be due, in the firat instance, by Mr. Llovd. To these two appnrert alterations of original entries on tho debit side of theMegcr; to the entry of credit on the doy. book, not carried into the leger, and to tho other altera-tiona, erasures and interlineations, on both the credit and debit side of thia mysterious book, many of which were referred to by the wilnesaea, Hoyt and Snltenatoll and othera, on a husty examination of the book before the committee, and which stand conspicuous and prominent, we specially and aerioualv call the attention of every member of the Houae, and aak them, in all ain-eerily and candor, whether, alter an cxaminotion of the page on which William B. Lloyd's account is entered, they can, by any stretch of Ihe imagination, reconcile them with the testimony of Jamea W. Newton) Con they believe that all theae alterationa and erasures, so readily seen at the first glsnce at the hook; so soon discovered by every witneaa who examined them beforo the committee, could have paased the scrutiny of Jamea W, Newton, without notice, in the repeated and careful oxaminationa which he states that they made. If they cannot yield credence to thia abaurdity, Ihcy muat be driven to the other alternative of believing he has not testified to the truth. When colled upon to atate whether, in hia examination of the account at hia broth-era's atore, with his father, or before or sinco, he had observed any errora, erasures or alterationa in the account, other than the two he referred lo in hia teatimony, ho unhesitatingly answers, " I did not but I made aome erasures of blols at that time." Is it to be believed that a person of auch acuta perception, one who was able to detect an alteration at the moat fortunate moment of time, in a book held partially open, by a peraon standing beaidchim, by adding up a horizontal line of figurca, ami aacertaining, firat, an error in ita extension column, and then an alternation of a figure, while conversing with that person, hearing and replying to varioua propositions, could carefully and repeatedly examine an account confined lo a single poge of a leger, and not diacover a single alteration or erasure, except the two he waa dcelratia of charging upon another person, when there were erasures of entire linea mado with a knife, and new figures inserted, and other alterationa more apparent, amounting, in all, as testified to by witnesses on casual examination, to some twelvo or fourteen) Mr, Newton, the elder, alao makes the aame statements that he knew of no other alterations made in the account. The most charitable conclusion the undersigned can arrive at in the case of the elder Newton, is, that hia examination of Ihe booka, on the morning of Ihe2lei, was so slight, thai, unless his sttcnlion had been called lo the fact of an alteration in the credit aide of the leger. he could not have decided whether any alterationa had been made, by hia examination in ihe evening. In any reaped in which his teatimony can be viewed, the aingle fact slated by him, thai he discovered and knew of no other altcrationa in the book, besides tho two referred to in his testimony, on the credit sido of the leger, after hia firat and aecond examination of the account, shows his utter ignorance of the condition of the book at tho lime, and that no confidence can be placed in hia recollections; his statements in relation to the condition of the account being confuted by inspection of ihe book itself, and by every witneaa who waa examined before the committee. If he could be so grossly mistaken in hia recollection or knowledge of their condition, after the second examination, os hia teatimony denotes, what reliance ought to be placed in hia recollections and knowledge from hia alight elimination in th first instance ) No discreet person would place any reliance on teatimony ao directly at vnriance with stern and undeniable facia, in a queation where the character or property of an individual waa involved lo the ilighteit extent, and much leaa to charge a citizen with a hiirh crime, which, if proved in a proper tribunal, muat deprive him of hia liberty. We sholl hi re dismiss the testimony of the elder New. ton, with the remaks, that he is the only witness besides the son who pretenda to have any knowledge of the booka previous lo Ihe discovery of the alterations, and proceed to a further examination of the testimony of Jomeo W. Newton. When aaked if he could stnte with certainty, whether the altcrationa were, or were nut in the book in the morning, when he examined il at hia broiher'a atore, thia witness swears, thai he was certain the booka were not altered tn the morning, becauae he "looked at the amount and added the crrditi; might not hare looked at every item, inasmuch as hit attention had not been called lo the particular figuret altered. Sialea alao, that "he it equally patitirc tliey did exiit when he look them from the handt of Mr. Lloyd Let ua examine for a mo. mom thia abaolule certainly, and positive swearing, and teal ila verity by hia own alaiements. He ia certain that the alterations did not exist In the morning, because he looked at the amount and added up the credita, admita that hia attention was not called lo the particular figures altered. Hia looking at the amount would give him no knowledge of the alterations if they existed, as the footings were not altered at all. His adding up the credita, could only have led to the possible dia-covery of the alteration of 10 to 91), in the fooling column, if it then exiated ; and this identic al alteration, which according lo hia own reasoning, waa the only one he could have detected in the morning, he aweara he did not diacover until the following evening, nfior tho buoka had been left in Pavne and Wilson's office, the whole day, after the examination by Mr. Lloyd. How then could he be poeiiive, that thia alteration exiated at the time he look tho hooka from Lloyd, or even have any know), edge that it did exist) And further, in regard to iho other alteration, of the 10 lo 30, ila position ia near the middle of the line, horixonlally, and not far below tho middle of the page, perpendicularly, and could not have been delected in looking ol the amount, or by adding the credit, and consequently could not have bean noticed in the morning'a cxoininolion, by his own statement, and still he positively avera under oath, that he ia certain of ila nun-exialence at that lime. In theae two inatances, we find thia witneas, when called on, Iceiify-ing with ahaoluto certainty to hia knowledge of the ex-istence of a fact at a certain time, when iu another part of hia teatimony, he stales, that he had no knowledge of ita existence until a tiibicqutnt period, and in ihe other case, alating with equal certainty, the non-existence of a mailer, ol which by his own shnwing, he coold have had no knowledge. We will now revert lo other por-tiona of the teatimony, and reasonings of thia witness. The mnnncr in which he states he first made Ihe discovery nf theae two alterationa, and hia aiibaequcnl deportment, are worthy of a passing notice. Ho slatea that he waa a personal and political friend of W. B. Lloyd, that he never made any complaints of ill usage from him, that although he waa never entitled to a vote at an election, he alwava got as many votea for the entire Whig tiektt at ht could, and that ho waa restrained from informing Lloyd of hia suspicions that he made the alterations in tho hook, at the lime he made the discovery, and ever eince, by hia former feelinga of friendship to-wnrdahim. In regord to the existence of auch friend-ly feelinga towarda Mr. Llnyd, we have ihe testimony of Mr. Younglovo, and Mr. H. A. Hoyden. Mr. Hny-den testifies, that Jamea W. Newton elated to him about aeven weeka since, that he did not auppon Mr! Lloyd for Representative, In the firat inatance, because he believed liters were belter men, and used expressions of hostility towarda him ; aaid nothing at that time in relation to the alteration of the bouka. Mr. Younglova testifies, that about the time the noml-nations wero to be mode for the fall clectiona, he heard Jamea W. Newton use exprossiona which convinced him Ihot ho had feelinga of dialike lo Mr. Lloyd, and thai lis used terms derogatory lo his character. Al the time he so adroitly detected the alteration on the credit aide of the leger. in tho very nick of time, to fix tin, charge uiion Lloyd, with hardly the possibility of escape, before ho hod wholly cloaed the book, and while he waa standing makinj propositions for adjusting the account, the wit ness very calmly, though he soya, heailalingly, replies to the propositions by Baying, he thought they had better make no further attempt to settle the acccount them-aelvea, and added thru he enuld not take the case from Esquire Smith, because it would be treatini him with too much diareapeet. After patiently listening to Mr. Lloyd's reply, aeeing him put on hia cloak, leave the of-ficoond close the door after him, heconld no longer suppress hia indignant feelings at the enormity of the act he hod discovered in "on alteration on the credit tide of hit booh," and notwirhatnnding hia holy horror at the uae of an oath, and his ardent feelings of friendship towards Mr. Lloyd, be brake over all restraint, and exclaimed "aee where the damned rascal has altered my books." Although disposed lo treat thia subject with all the gravity its importaare demands, we cannot aup-prcsa trie conviction, rearing upon our minds, thai thia indignation scene was overacted. We cannot bring our minds tu Ihe conclusion, that this witness who had been ao long conversant with this account, who had made auch repeated and criticalexaminations of the books,who had copied every item of the charges and arsdils, from itspnges, over and over again, could hove heen so horribly struck with astonishment and surprise, on discovering the altoraiinnofa aingle figure on the credit aide of a page, on which there are apparent, and plainly to be aecn fourteen eraeurea of figures, and origianl entriea by acrapingthem oul with a knife, so as entirely to obliterate in many inatances rhe original entry on both the debitand creditaide of theaame poge containing thia very account, and confined to ihnt afone, besides numerous othcrollerationaof original ligurea, without audi acralch ing out, but by chnnging original figures denominating the price of board and other articlea charged to W. B. Llovd, and making them of grenter denomination, extending and embracing the increaaed amount in the aggregate footing nf the account. We will now aak the attention of the House, while wediadoae the character and condition of these booka. William Foster, the per aon nnmcd by the elder Nowton,aaone amongst others, who kept hia booka, statea, that he was steward to Mr. Newton, and mnde entriea in hia books, that they were not reguroly kept; not kepi aa well aa bar booka usually ; that ihey always lay open on the bar, and many had access lo them. Mr. Younglove testifies, that hehaehenrij very gener ally, expression! of distrust in the accuracy of Newton's hooka, where he roaides. T. P. Handy, cashier, slates, after looking at tho hooka, that they aro not accurately kept; that in impoasibleto ascertain tho true entries; that there arc numerous erasures and alterationa. D. G. Sal tonatall, book keeper, testifies that rhe most prominent alterations on Lloyd'a account ispon the leger, are two entries entirely scraped out; snys, on examination, that they are not kept with aufiicient accuracy, to be relied upon with any degree of certainty; thai there are varia-tiona between the doy book and leger; that there are en-tries of credits on the day book to W. B. Lloyd, not carried to the leger; that it ia very apparent, that there are aamanyaa ten altcrationa and eraaures on one page of the leger, in W. B. Lloyd's account. David Hersh, states, thai he is an accountant; eeuld not call them a regular aet of booka; ahould not want to place much con fidence in them, from the numerous erasureaand alterations that are apparent. It is not eustomsry for merchants lo make erasures on their books; and never of firat entriea, except both partica are present; says, the most conspicuous alterations are in the $19 75, on the credit aide, and the 9. Jnmea M. Hoyt. in his teatimony, pointa out seven alieratinne on the debit side of the leger, in Lloyd's account; and aaya there are eraaures in eleven different placea; that the most conspicuoua alteration is $'8 75; that the ink in the alterations of 30 lo 39, and 10 to 30, doea not appear to differ from the ink with which many other itema are written; and that he con discover no perceptible difference in the character of the hand writing. Such ia the testimony of the four witnesses who were alone permitted, by the committee, to inspect the booka during the invcaligation. The condition and character of ilieee hooka, aa disclosed lo the committee in relation to Mr. Lloyd's sccount, induced the undersigned to look at the accounts of other individuals on the hooks, and without any nice calculations, they honcaily believo, that in an examination, not exceeding twenty minutes, more than fifty alterationa of a aimilar character to those which appear in Ihe account of Wm. B. Lloyd, were discovered by them. Theae alterations embrace both debit and credit, and appear on both day book and leger. The aame scraping out, eraaures, and interlineations, are promiscuously mado throughout the booka, and wo bel!ieve, from Ins hosty examination made, that it would be no exaggeration to any, that in one fifth of the pagea, theae alteraiionaoc. cur. Without going into a minute description of the ca-sea discovered, wo will refer to one page of the day book, under the dale of January 19, 1838. Four alterations are found in a single page three of which are in-creaaing the amount of chargea originally made, aa follows: From 10 lo 13; from 3 to 1: and from 3 to $5 the other ia an alteration of a credit, the original amount of which cannot be made out. With thia statement of facta, we dismiss theae books from further notice, with an eamcet appeal to every member of thia body, before he ia called upon to act on the caae auhmitied to hia judgment, to make a paraonal examination of them. Frum theae diacloeurea, it ia no difficult matter lo aacertain the origin, progress, and intended consummation of thia foul conspiracy, to break down the charocter, and blast the reputation of a fellow citixen, who, from tho united testimony of every witneas before the committee, either friend or foe, personally or politically, atood as high in the community, and sustained a reputation for honeaty, integrity, and honor, aa fair aa any other person, either in or out of thia Mouse. It requirea no great effort of a discriminating mind acquainted with the aubtletiea of ihe human heart to discover the motives which led to the first act in theae infamous tranaaclions, nor to trace ihein atep by step to the present period. That there has been a wicked and corrupt tampering with these books, there csn be no doubt. That these erasures and alterations were known to Jamca W. Newton, ia no leaa certain. Whether made by himaelf or aomo other peraon ia not disclosed, nor is it of much importance to the preacnt inquiry to aacertain, provided we are satisfied he had full knowledge of their existence. He claimed the booka and was willing 10 swell the account to, ihe extent nf the balance appearing to be dueinclud.ng the alterationa on lha debit aide. Nor did it appear that he waa very scrupulous in his endeavore lo obtain even a larger amount. From ihe time he presented the account to Mr. Lloyd, ha had committed himself aa tu the accuracy of his books, and tha amount of balance due. It would seem from hia tcsti mony lhal while Lloyd held thia copy of Ihe account, he waa willing to receive the balance aa there stated. After finding lhal Mr. Lloyd could nol probably find all hia receipts, he got the copy of the account rendered to Mr. Lloyd in hia possession, and then commenced his suit before a magistrate known to be personally hostile to Mr. Lloyd, and instead of bringing hia booka into court, brought a bill of particular chargea, and claimed through hia attorney a balance of one hundred dollara. It is worthy of notice also, lhal on neither of the dava fixed for triol at which the parlies appeared, were theae hooka brought into court. Under the pretence of want, ing a witneaa, he procured two adjoornmrnta of the triol, and lo a period when he knew Mr. Lloyd muat be absent from home. In Ihe meantime the indignation acene waa adroitly played off in the office of Payne and Wilson, and this stratagem cautioualy concealed from the knowledge of Lloyd during the four or five daya he remained at Cleveland, (ou one of which daye the parties mat before the magistrate for trial, and Newton nol ready,) while it waa doing ita intended work in another quarter, where it waa intended to operate. Something of thia kind would aeem to have beon necessary to oraw eff the attention of an intelligent magietrate from tha altera-tiona made in the prico of board, which had been Ihe subject of dispute between Llovd snd Newton when tliey had previously met at the magistrate's office, on ths days fixed upon for ihe previous trials, aa testified by Mr, Wilson. From this or some other cause, ihe magia. trote, il would appear, in tha absence of Lloyd or any one on his behalf, relying on the testimony of Jamea W, Newton alone, in determining the credenco which ahould be given to the credita on the booka, discarded the two alterations on the credit side of the leger, and diaregording, or not perceiving those on the debit side; gave judgment for the balance claimed tn bo due, when a caruful examination of the books would havo ahown that ihey were unworthy of credit, how strongly soever they might havo been sworn to by Ihe owner himself. I'p to this point we can fairly trace all these erasures and alterationa, and transactions connected with them, to tha sordid passions of avarice and eupiuity. For Ihe aame motives which would urge a person to alter original chargeavlo increaae the amount of a claim, or knowing 11 tn have been done, would attempt to enforce its collection, would alao impel him to commit any acl of equal enormity to cover and conceal the transaction. Fur Ihia purpose, and to this extent only, do we believe the author or projector of theae iniquitous acts originally designed to carry them. Having succeeded in obtaining judgment for the amount claimed, we have noduubt that James W. New. ton would moat cordially have permitted this subject to hnve rested. But in this, aa in many other cases, one false step in iniquity very often involves a peraon in difficulties, to rxtnenie himself from which lie is driven to the eommiaaion of Crimea, from which ha would have shrunk with horror in the fitit instance. Theae occurrences having transpired, the eircumstan-ceaareaeixed upon with avidity, by thepcraoaaland political enemies of William B. Lloyd.ana made the occasion of publicly charging him with the commission of tha crime of forgery,ona this charge is publishsdsditoriallr in a newspaper published al IM seat of Government, by the Stale Printer, accompanied with a notice, that there wore witaeasee ready N prove it, if he would call for an investigation. This ealT has been made, and James W. Newten has been compelled to submit hia books to the scrutiny of witnesses, and to testify as l the truth of rbe ststementa he had put in circulation. Every witsess allowed to examine his books, ssy tbsr are not to bt relied on as correct, and aoms M them atote thai it is impossible to aacertua the true entries. Nor, in the jadg men! of the nodsrsigned, earn any greater reliance be had in the truth of hia own ataeemaats before the committee. He swears-1 hat be ia positive thai certain alterationa i his book aid not exist at a certain period, and thai they did exiat at a another; when, in fact, from his own atatementa at another time before th committee, ha could neither have known of the rtorws istenct of the one, or of the existence of ihe other, at the periodsstated by him. He alao states, aftsr all hia previous examination, that he knew of no other alterations in the books than those referred to in the credits, when every witness who examined them, did, and ovary person who will examine, must say. there are numeroua ones more- apparent than those tie discovered, and which coals! not eaeapo hia nonce. Fully satisfied, from this investigation, that there is n testimony which warrants the belief that any of these alterations were made by W. B. Lloyd, we recommend the adoption of tha following resolution : Renlted, That the charges preferred against W. B. Lloyd, sre not sustained by ths testimony presented to , this House, by Ihe committee of investigation. MOSES B. CORWIN, 6EABURY FORD. A HEAL BI.EaWiaiG TO .TIOTHEHS. DR. W.
