results.

_Mr. Gurney._ I will give your Lordship the result after the examination
of several stock brokers; Mr. Baily has abstracted the whole.

_Mr. Serjeant Best._ I shall carry back the accounts considerably
earlier; that should be understood. If I put in accounts of an earlier
date, it must not be considered that I am giving evidence in so doing.

_Mr. Gurney._ I take it the same, as if my learned friend cross examined
Mr. Fearn upon that subject.

_Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Best_.

_Q._ You have spoken of these gentlemen engaging in stock transactions,
you have been carried back no further than February the 8th, they had
all three of them bought to an enormous amount long before that
time--had they not?

_A._ Certainly.

_Q._ And as to sales, had they not sold very large sums, long antecedent
to the month of February?

_A._ Oh yes.

_Q._ Can you state as to my Lord Cochrane, for instance, had he not sold
hundreds of thousands before that time?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ I would ask you, did he not from time to time, down to that time,
continue to be selling large sums?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ With respect to Mr. Cochrane Johnstone--on the 10th or 11th of

tell me whether that is not a correct statement of Mr. Cochrane
Johnstone's account with you.

_A._ I cannot tell from this book.

_Mr. Gurney._ I believe the accounts will agree to a farthing, from the
time they each begin.

_Mr. Serjeant Best._ Then the larger sales will appear upon this paper
without troubling his Lordship to take them down upon his notes; there
were very large sales for all of them several days precedent to the
21st.

_A._ Yes, there were.

_Q._ I believe they began these speculations as early as the month of
November, did they not?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Mr. Butt managed principally--very much for these gentlemen--for
Lord Cochrane particularly?

_A._ Yes, he did.

_Q._ Lord Cochrane, you have told us, was not there on the morning of
the 21st?

_A._ No, he was not.

_Q._ For a great many days, I believe I may say months, had you not been
directed to sell their stock whenever it should so rise, that you could
get one per cent?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ You have told us that on the morni
