ated in a letter which passed? _Q._ Was it not stated in the conversation? _A._ I believe it was; but the subject of the communication of M'Rae was so little attended to by the Committee, that it never entered their heads that any such sum should be paid. _Q._ Was there any letter, or any writing of Mr. Holloway's produced at the time? _A._ I really cannot fix my memory. _Q._ Have you any recollection of any letter of his having been produced at the time? _A._ Certainly none that I can recollect. _Q._ Do you not know that Mr. Holloway had written a letter to the Committee of the Stock Exchange upon this business? _A._ I really do not know it; it may possibly have been. _Cross-examined by Mr. Park._ _Q._ This person Holloway was asked whether he had any connection with Lord Cochrane, Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, and Mr. Butt, and he denied it? _A._ He did. _Q._ Did he not, in the same conversation, deny that he had any connection, not only with those persons, but De Berenger also? _A._ Certainly. _Q._ That you dropped? _A._ Yes, I did not mean to drop it. _Cross-examined by Mr. Alley._ _Q._ At the time this conversation passed between you and Holloway, M'Rae was not there? _A._ He was not. _Q._ It was all in his absence? _A._ It was in his absence, it was in Mr. Lavie's office. _Lord Ellenborough._ The evidence of course can operate only against Holloway and Lyte, who were there. _Mr. Joseph Fearn sworn._ _Examined by Mr. Gurney._ _Q._ You are a stock broker? _A._ I am. _Q._ How long have you known Mr. Butt? _A._ Several years. _Q._ Were you introduced by him to Mr. Cochrane Johnstone and to Lord Cochrane. _A._ Yes. _Q._ In the month of February last, were you employed either by Mr. Butt or Lord Cochrane, or Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, to make any purchases for them in the funds? _A._ Yes, I was. _Q._ At that time where was your office of business? _A._ No. 10, Cornhill. _Q._ Was it No. 10 or No. 86, about the 12th of February? _A._ I believe it was No. 86. _Q._ Had Mr. Butt an office? _A._ He had somewhere about that time an office in Sweetings Alley. _Q._ From the 12th of February to the 19th of February, did you see Mr. Butt daily? _A._ I think I did. _Q._ At your office or at his? _A._ Both. _Q._ Did you generally see him alone, or in company with either of the other persons? _A._ Frequently all
