EVIDENCE TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO INVESTIGATE THE TRUTH OF CHARGES MADE AGAINST A. W. M'GREGOR.

Tuesday evening, Dec. 5, 1837.

John Wilson, being duly sworn, stated that the affidavit, as exhibited and marked A, was sworn to and subscribed by him; that it does not contain all facts, but is true as far as stated; that there are other facts not stated in the affidavit connected with the subject. At the time of the conversation before the election, M'Gregor stated, as in the affidavit, that he was a candidate to fill the vacancy, and requested deponent's assistance, which deponent promised, for which M'Gregor stated that he would assist deponent in getting a charter for a ferry privilege. Wilson then said if M'Gregor would so assist as to get a charter, the said M'Gregor should have a hundred dollars, when M'Gregor said he would do his best to secure Wilson a charter; for which deponent also promised to assist him in his election; that he did assist him, and voted for him. They had different conversations respecting the charter--whether it would be best to present by petition or motion, and concluded that it would be best to present it by motion. On the Friday previous to the sitting of the legislature, deponent ascertained that there was a petition in circulation for a charter for a ferry from Stephenson to Davenport; deponent then went to M'Greand told him of this circumstance, and told him that as this gor. petition was in circulation, it would be best for deponent to have one, to which M'Gregor assented; upon which M'Gregor drew a petition and copy, the same as presented to the Council. Deponent then renewed the promise of $100 for M'Gre

gor's assistance in getting a charter, and M'Gregor promised his assistance in getting a charter. M'Gregor calculated to start for Burlington on the Saturday or Sunday after, and it was understood that deponent should get there as soon after the Monday or Tuesday following, with the petitions and titles of the ferry privileges, as possible, as it was calculated it would take some few days to organize the legislature. On Thursday after, deponent came to Burlington with the petition and papers, and presented them to M'Gregor, who told him that the house had not yet organized so as to proceed to business, some officer not having been elected; but that as soon as the house was organized to do business, he would present deponent's petitions. The promise of the $100 was then again renewed. Deponent then had business at St. Louis and Carrollton, Ill., to which places he calculated to go as soon as possible, and Mr. M'Gregor concluded that deponent had better go on-that he would be able to get back before he would be wanted. So deponent starts on the same day, Thursday evening, for the above named places, in the same boat in which he arrived. Deponent got back to Burlington on Tuesday, the 28th ult., went immediately to M'Gregor, and inquired about his petition; whether or not it had been presented by him. M'Gregor said he had not presented it. Deponent then asked why; and M'Gregor stated that a petition had been sent to him during deponent's absence, for a charter for a company, and he said he had not, that he thought he would leave it until deponent's return. Conversation then occurred as to the manner in which deponent should proceed; whether it would be best for him to have his petitions presented by M'Gregor, with a statement by the latter to the house of circumstances, or pursue some other course. M'Gregor said it would look awkward in him to present two petitions, one from the company and one from deponent. Deponent then told M'Gregor he expected the latter would attend to it, with the promise again of $100 if the charter was secured. There was other conversation respecting the charter for the company, and he proposed that deponent should take an interest in the company; that it would be easier to get a charter for a company than for an individual. Deponent then
