Being asked the namea of any persons in his employ when he made the articles in Madison street, he gives the names of Charles Guessnar and Eichard Harding. Harding was called by the plaintiffs. He was a cartman, and knew Anden in Madison street as a painter, but did no work for him save carting a load of f urniture. Anden states.as a means of fixing the date when he first made these structures, that he was at the same time painting what was called the Boston rocker, belonging to Palmer Brothers, and that he has a memorandum showing the receipt and delivery of Boston rockers, dated between December 7 and 10, 1861.
