He has been employed under my master Mr. Wightman. I am employed as clerk and schoolmaster by Mr. Wightman. About the 19th April the prisoner applied to me to write a letter for him.

He told me that Mr. Perry desired him to get the letter written and he would sign it. I refused to write the letter. On Monday last after the prisoner returned from New England I went into his appartment and told him I was sorry he was so foolish as to get into trouble. I alluded to the forged order of which I had previously heard. Prisoner replied he did not do it. I afterwards found the order and he had given it to a female at Belltrees to be delivered to a person named Fincher. Thomas Perry being duly sworn stated that he had seen a note drawn upon Francis Fisher of Sydney.
