His testimony wus of ibe most convincing kind, be showing a latga number af receipts to wbicb Mr. M's name was signed, boot ot wblcb bore tbe slightest resemblance to Hie signature ol tbe note. His evidence convinced tbe jury wbo returned a true bill against Mrs. Pat too lor forgery. Tbe judge issued a bench warrant for the arieat of Mrs. Patton, and ber trial will come off iu a day or two. Ii was thought she would be convicted of fur' gery.
