reasonable ground for the supposition of fraud, even supposing the

in contemplation of and in preparation for that event: and for these
purposes not only must the transcript have been in his custody
or that of his agent in the forgery, but the have been either in his custody, or, so far at least as was necessary
for the purpose of destruction, in his power.
