Sir:
Your favor of yesterday with Mr. Kirkham's Deposition, I have received, and in consequence of that and the Deposition of Mr. Edwards, I enclose you an order to the Sheriff to deliver the Negro, on your paying the fees and giving him an indemnification. The
former is a matter of course, and the latter is necessary, as Mr. Kirkham is unknown, and no legal letter of Attorney appearing from Mr. Ball.
