ute such a commission as that to that extent. _Q._ How much did you purchase for him? _A._ L20,000. _Q._ On that Saturday? _A._ Yes, in the morning I speak of. _Q._ What did you do with that L20,000? _A._ I received instructions to sell it again, if I could get a quarter per cent profit. _Q._ Did you get a profit and sell it again? _A._ In a short time I did get three-eighths per cent profit, and consequently sold it again without waiting for instructions. _Q._ Did you then by his instructions make any further purchase for him? _A._ I did in the latter part of that day purchase first L20,000 and then L10,000. _Q._ On the morning of Monday the 21st did you sell out that L30,000? _A._ I did. _Q._ In pursuance of instructions received on the Saturday or on the Monday? _A._ On the Saturday, at the time I saw him. _Q._ At what profit did you sell? _A._ At three-fourths per cent profit. _Q._ What was the price? _A._ 28-1/4. _Q._ Have you given the account of this to Mr. Baily? _A._ Yes I have. _Cross-examined by Mr. Brougham._ _Q._ You were partner with Mr. Fearn, Senior, Mr. Butts, broker, were not you? _A._ Yes, formerly I was. _Q._ Did you not apply to Mr. Butt, stating that you had a wife and family, and wishing him to give you some employment. _A._ Mr. Butt had been known to me ten or twelve years, and known to Mr. Fearn, Senior, only as being one of my customers in the book line. _Q._ Did you not apply to Mr. Butt yourself to ask him to serve you. _A._ Not upon this occasion at all. _Q._ Will you hear the question first, and then answer it.
