iLi J he r *L ein g P lace<l in the

ho did not procerd
as they directed hut left a copy
of that marked No. 2, at ray
houfe. on which I fome lime
after filed my account againft
Pofner, with a jufticc of the
peace, who ferved him with a
notice to appear at his next
court for trial, but previous to
the court, he Pofner propofed
a fettlcment of our accounts be
tween ourfelves, to which I did
not ohjeft, and on which he
acknowledges himfelf indebted
to me the fum of ten dollars fix
and one quarter cents, for which
(urn he gives his due bill marked
No. 3, as follows.
Die Abner Hammond, ten dol
lars fix and one quarter cents , which
jhall be allowed in fart of a receipt
for yohn Martins note, as witnefs
ray hand this §th 0/ April, 1800.
J. G. POSNER.
Now compare the pofitlve
oath of Pofner, with his acknow
ledgment in this due bill (with
out any dealings having taken
place between the parties fiom
the date of the one to the other)
and if it docs not amount to a
politive acknowledgment of per
jury, I rnuft confefs I have not
penetration to difeover the dif
ference, nor can I fee any pof
fible means of properly terming
it, otherwife except by admitting
that it does not conftiiute per
jury for a man (by real or pre
tended miftake) to take a falfe
oath, although he declares in
that oath pofitively that he has
made no miftake.
This however, 1 think would
be a dangerous doctrine to admit
for the wretch who will take a
falle oath for the paltry fum of
twelve dollars fixtv nine and
three quarter cents, 1 have no
doubt may cafily be fuborned
by a more confiderable fum or
prompt by malice or prejudice,
to fweara man’s whole property
or his life away, and after (by
fuch an oath) the property or
life of a citizen may be taken, I
would afk how fuch miftake
could be re&ified.
Dilclaiming all refentrtient at
the man who has taken this oath
(he is far below my refenrment)
1 have placed this to public
view for the benefit of my fellow
citizens, and to put them on
their guard in dealings with
fuch.
