Massman Bros. & Co., and that I swear positively to the indebtedness of M. Brown & Co. to plaintiffs, to the alleged assignment; to the non-residence of SamuelT. Bleyer, and to' the existence of the mortgages aforesaid. As to all the other facts, I charge them on information and belief, and from said information and the investigation I have been able to make, I believe all of said allegations are true.” Code, §3300; Acts 1873, p. 29.
