eral of my friends went to look at it, and finding it convenient, I requested them to take the whole of it, if they could, in order that I might be accommodated. _Lord Ellenborough._ Whom do you mean by friends, Mr. Cochrane Johnstone? _A._ No, other persons for whom I did business. _Mr. Gurney._ When was this done? _A._ In the course of the week preceding. _Lord Ellenborough._ When you say Mr. Cochrane Johnstone took a room for you, do you mean at this place? _Q._ They had taken those two rooms, I believe, for themselves, without reference to my having any thing to do there. _Mr. Gurney._ Did they afterwards take a third? _A._ They afterwards took the whole that is in my possession. _Q._ You have all of them in your possession now? _A._ I have. _Q._ On the morning of Monday the 21st of February, how soon did you see either of those gentlemen? _A._ They were in the habit of being at the office as early as I myself attended. _Q._ At your office in Cornhill? _A._ Yes. _Q._ How early did you see them at your office that morning? _A._ I believe at about ten, or a little past. _Q._ Whom did you then see. _A._ I think, Mr. Butt and Mr. Johnstone. _Q._ Are you positive upon that subject? _A._ I am sure they were both there in the course of the morning. _Q._ Are you positive whether any body else was with them? _A._ No, I think nobody else. _Q._ Business begins in the Stock Exchange I believe at ten o'clock. _A._ Yes. _Q._ At what price had consols for time left off on Saturday? _A._ I can hardly say. _Q._ Did they open on Monday morning pretty much as they had left off on Saturday evening? _A._ I think they did. _Q._ How soon after you had been in the Stock Exchange, did any good news come? _A._ I think it was near eleven. _Q._ What news had arrived? _A._ I cannot take upon me to say; I only knew in general, with perhaps every body in the house in business, that there was some news, but we rarely enquire into particulars of news, it is enough that facts are produced. _Q._ You were doing a good deal of business at that moment, and must have heard something of it; did you hear any thing about a messenger arriving at Dover? _A._ I have heard so much since that, I cannot take upon myself to swear what I heard, whether that a messenger had arrived at Dover, or that Bonaparte was killed, but one of the two certainly. _Q._ Did you hear that Bonaparte
