three together. _Q._ You mean Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, Lord Cochrane, and Mr. Butt? _A._ Yes. _Q._ When you did business for Lord Cochrane, did you in all instances take orders from him or from any person for him? _A._ Sometimes from him, and sometimes from Mr. Butt. _Q._ After you had acted for him upon the orders of Mr. Butt, did he recognize those orders? _A._ Always. _Q._ From the 12th till the 19th, did you make various purchases and sales for them? _A._ I did. _Q._ On the evening of the 19th, what balance had he in his hand; Lord Cochrane's transactions I believe were only in omnium? _A._ No. _Q._ The amount was L139,000, was it not? _A._ Yes. _Q._ That is to say, that he had that balance of omnium? _A._ Yes. _Q._ What balance of omnium had Mr. Cochrane Johnstone on that day? _A._ L120,000. _Q._ One hundred and twenty, or one hundred and thirty thousand? _A._ I have not drawn out the balance here. _Q._ What was Mr. Cochrane Johnstone's consol account on that day? _A._ L100,000. _Q._ How much had Mr. Butt of omnium at the same time? _A._ I think about L160,000. _Q._ Is not the omnium L130,000. _A._ I should think more than that; I believe it was L154,000. _Q._ How much his consols? _A._ L168,000. _Q._ On the morning of the 21st of February, did you sell them all? _A._ I did. _Q._ Omnium and consols and all? _A._ Yes. _Q._ On the morning of Monday the 21st, did you remove to any other office than that you had before occupied? _A._ Yes, I did. _Q._ Where was that office? _A._ No. 5, in Shorter's Court. _Q._ Is that close to the side door of the Stock Exchange? _A._ Yes, it is. _Q._ How many rooms were there? _A._ Three. _Q._ Had you one? _A._ I had one and a small closet; Mr. Butt had another up stairs with Mr. Johnstone and my Lord Cochrane, and the ground floor was occupied by Mr. Lance. _Q._ Was he a clerk of yours, or employed by them? _A._ He was employed by them. _Q._ Had you taken that office, or had it been taken for you? _A._ Mr. Johnstone had taken his with one room or two rooms, I am not sure which. _Q._ Had the office been taken for you, or had you yourself gone and taken it? _A._ They had taken those two rooms, I believe, without intending to take any more; but as I was not pleasantly situated, and was rather too far from business, I wished to have an office there, if they could procure it; sev
