ales on that day to your knowledge, you having stated you were their Broker--do you know of their having sold on that day any stock which they had not purchased before? _Lord Ellenborough._ Are you not putting this gentleman in a situation of peril? _Mr. Serjeant Best._ If he admits it. _Lord Ellenborough._ Why should you place him in such a situation to deny or affirm? This does not affect the charge. _Mr. Serjeant Best._ I ask whether it was done by those persons? _Lord Ellenborough._ But that would be done through a broker. _Mr. Taddy._ If your Lordship will allow me to suggest on behalf of the witness, that in an action for the penalties, the question would be whether he knew they were possessed of the stock, or not, and this would go to make out his knowledge. _Mr. Serjeant Best._ Do you know whether either of those persons on that day sold any stock or omnium, which they had not purchased before? _Lord Ellenborough._ That question must be limited to any thing in which you have not had participation in the way of sale, otherwise you may criminate yourself--having given you that caution, you may do as you please. _A._ They did not. _Lord Ellenborough._ That is not imputed to them. _Mr. Serjeant Best._ The use I mean to make of it I have no objection to state now. _Lord Ellenborough._ No, you need not, I leave it entirely to your judgment. _Mr. Serjeant Best._ I think you told us before, those gentlemen told you, whenever the stock rose to one per cent, above what they had bought at, to sell. _A._ Yes, they did. _Q._ With respect to the taking of this office, when did you first see it? _A._ In the course of the week anterior to the 21st of February. _Q._ Mr. Butt had before an office in Sweeting's Alley. _A._ Yes. _Q._ He found that an inconvenient one and he took these rooms in Shorter's Court, he and Mr. Johnstone? _A._ Yes. _Q._ Those were taken for Mr. Butt, were they not? _A._ I believe so. _Q._ I believe you went to the rooms as to the rooms of Mr. Butt? _A._ I did. _Q._ I believe you thought upon seeing Mr. Butt's room, that the situation was a very convenient one for yourself? _A._ Yes. _Q._ And therefore you suggested, did you not, that you should like a room in the same house? _A._ I think I did. _Q._ In consequence of this suggestion did not Mr. Butt give up to you the room he had taken for himself, and take another in the same house fo
