r himself? _A._ Yes, he did. _Q._ And the room being taken in this manner, you put up your name "Fearn, Stock Broker." _A._ On the Monday. _Q._ Did you do that at your own idea or was it suggested to you by any body? _A._ It was the same transparent blind I had at my former office, which I removed and put in the window. _Q._ Your name in gold letters? _A._ In black letters. _Q._ You took your furniture? _A._ The rooms were furnished. _Q._ I believe after thus finding your Customers liked the situation, you desired Mr. Johnstone to purchase the lease of the house for you. _A._ Yes, I did. _Q._ Was that before or after the 21st? _A._ I think after. _Lord Ellenborough._ Then that does not apply. _Mr. Serjeant Best._ You had taken it before the 21st and got into possession on the 21st. _A._ Yes. _Q._ One of your reasons for taking it was that some of your customers were particularly pleased with it. _A._ Yes. _Q._ That was on the Thursday in the week before. _A._ I believe it might be. _Q._ You have told us you did not see Lord Cochrane on that morning, how many days previously to that had you seen him? _A._ I think I saw him on the Saturday. _Q._ You are not quite certain of that? _A._ No, I am not. _Q._ Does it appear whether he bought any thing on that day. _Mr. Gurney._ It appears from the account that he bought 20,000 and sold 17,000. _Mr. Serjeant Best._ You have told us that all those three persons, Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, Lord Cochrane, and Mr. Butt, were very large speculators; did they always speculate the same way, or on the contrary, when one bought did not the other very often sell? _A._ It has been the case. _Q._ Has not that happened often, several times? _A._ Yes it has, several times. _Re-examined by Mr. Gurney._ _Q._ On that day they all sold? _A._ Yes they did. _Q._ They all acted together on that day. _A._ Yes they did. _Q._ Where did Lord Cochrane reside on the 21st of February? _A._ I do not know. _Q._ How soon after did you know his residence in Green-Street? _A._ Not at all until the printed paper of the Stock Exchange came out. _Q._ Did you know that Lord Cochrane resided at the time in Green-Street? _A._ Only by report. _Q._ Not from Lord Cochrane? _A._ No. _A Juryman._ You say they did not sell any stock but what they had before purchased, do you mean such as they had bought and paid
