introduce him to your friend?

_A._ No, I did not, he would not be introduced. I had communicated to my
friend the business in question before he came.

_Q._ How soon did you communicate this to the Stock Exchange?

_A._ I communicated it within ten minutes afterwards on that day.

_Q._ After the thing had been publicly known?

_A._ No, I went immediately on this application being made and
promulgated it to Mr. Rothery, of the Atlas Printing-Office, in
Houndsditch; I afterwards went to a house in Clement's lane, where I
promulgated it to thirteen or fourteen different persons, and I made it
public daily in all the companies I went into.

_Q._ Was that before this happened?

_A._ It was on the 15th I made public, not the name of M'Rae, but that
such a thing had been offered to me, which I refused with indignity.

_Q._ Some of these gentlemen are here as witnesses to-day I suppose?

_A._ It was done with that intent and that only.

_Sarah Alexander sworn._

_Examined by Mr. Bolland._

_Q._ You live at No. 61, Fetter-lane, do you not?

_A._ Yes, I do.

_Q._ How long have you lived there?

_A._ I have lived there ever since last September.

_Q._ Do you know Mr. M'Rae?

_A._ Not with me--he lodged on the same floor that I did.

_Q._ Is he a married or single man?

_A._ A married man; he had his wife with him.

_Q._ Do you recollect any thing passing in February last, with regard to
Mr. M'Rae?

_A._ Yes, on a Saturday night.

_Q._ What Saturday night?

_A._ The 19th of February.

_Q._ Where were you at that time?

_A._ In my o
