It is charged that while these judgments were unsatisiied, Fowler improperly paid to Wood about $15,000. Mr. Fowler testided that in 1863 he agreed to pay Fercando Wood $5,000 in cash and a certain share of his of- ficial emoluments for the appointment of ttorney; that in pursuance of 000 incash and two notes of £500 each, which he subsequently took up, and that Wood then drew a blank appoint- meut from his pocket and filled it with witness’ name. He also swears that the bargain was farther carried out by his paying Wood the whole of his first year's sal- ary as it accrued, amounting to $5,000. After hat he gave Wood half the salary and por- quisites of his office, amounting to about £5,000, until he was removed. Ai this time Witness was insolvent, owing over $15,000 ‘Wood was on the stand, and swore positively that he did not receive the money.
