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.
