Doc. 153.] SWEDENBORG ENTERS THE COLLEGE. 427
72
Councillor of Mines Cederstedt.122_ The action of the Royal
College is based on a statement of Judge Cederholm , * who
had been before them , and who had deposed that Assessor
Swedenborg had stated to him , that inasmuch as Assessor
Bromell,12 whose appointment as professor antedated Sweden
borg’s, had yielded precedence to Assessor Bergenstierna ;125 so
also Assessor Swedenborg, in consideration ofAssessor Bromell’s
appointment, would not claim precedence of Assessors Bergen
stierna and Bromell, but would acknowledge their seniority.
Assessor Swedenborg .- It is also my opinion, and I agree
to this, Mr. President.
There only remains a question therefore between Assessor
Swedenborg and his brother-in -law Assessor Benzelstjerna,
which of the two should have precedence. Assessor Sweden
borg was asked whether he might not arrange this with his
brother-in -law ; for if they would confer with one another they
might so settle the matter, that no dispute could arise bet
ween them .
Assessor Swedenborg.—I am willing to talk with my brother
in -law on the subject, and am quite willing to make an
arrangement with him.

April 3rd.
Swedenborg was present at the College of Mines.
April 11th.
As it was reported that Assessor Emanuel Swedenborg
was in the ante-room for the purpose of stating to what extent
he had come to an agreement with Assessor Benzelstjerna
respecting the seat in the Royal College, he was therefore
called in, when the result of the last conference on the 1st inst.
was stated by the President, according to which Assessor
Swedenborg was willing to grant precedence to Assessors
Bergenstierna and Bromell, and also expressed his willingness
to make an arrangement with Assessor Benzelstjerna on the
subject of seniority. The President said the College was
* Bernhard Cederholm , in 1718 Lagman or Judge in Wadstena län ; in
1741 he became President of the the Court of Appeals (Götha Hofrätt) at
Jönköping
