r. Butt's by his
order.

_Q._ Was that order from Mr. Cochrane Johnstone received on the Monday,
or before the Monday?

_A._ In part it was received on the Monday, but a part on the Saturday.

_Q._ You had also, I believe, made purchases in Omnium for Mr. Butt?

_A._ I had.

_Q._ To the amount of L40,000 I believe?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Was that L40,000 left as a balance on Saturday the 19th?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ And all sold out on the Monday?

_A._ Yes, all sold on the 21st.

_Q._ Have you given Mr. Baily a statement from your books of that?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ And of the prices at which it was sold?

_A._ Yes.

_Lord Ellenborough._ Now what is the result of all these accounts?

_Mr. Gurney._ I am going to call one person more, and then I will give
your Lordship the totals.

_Q._ You had bought for Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, L40,000, and on that
21st you sold it all?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ You had bought for Mr. Butt L40,000, and on the Monday you sold it
all?

_A._ I sold it all on Monday.

_Lord Ellenborough._ If he sells all the sum is immaterial, if you prove
that he sold all of the several amounts, it furnishes a constructive
motive for what has passed.

_Cross-examined by Mr. Scarlett._

_Q._ When was it you had purchased the L40,000 for Mr. Cochrane
Johnstone?

_A._ On the 12th and the 14th.

_Q._ Did Mr. Johnstone send you the order to purchase it?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Was it upon his own account?

_A._ No, it was upon his own account, the order was from him.

_Q._ But not upon his own account?

_A._ No, it was not.

_Q._ Was the whole L40,000 purchased at two different times?

_A._ Yes, it was.

_Q._ You stated to my learned Friend, that he gave you an order to sell
a part of it on Saturday?

_A._ Yes, he gave me an order on Saturday.

_Q._ What was it?

_A._ To sell at a quarter profit if I had an opportunity.

_Q._ I take for granted that opportunity did not occur on the Saturday?

_A._ No, it did not.

_Q._ Otherwise you would have sold it on the Saturday?

_A._ Certainly.

_Q._ On the Monday you say he gave you an order as to the other
L200,000?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Had you sold the first L20,000 before you saw him on the Monday?

_A._ Yes, I had.

_Q._ At what time in the morning had you sold it?

_A._ I think about half past ten.

_Q._ When did you first see Mr. Johnstone?

_A._ I saw him soon after I had sold out, between ten and eleven.
