? _A._ No; if I perceive there are any particular fluctuations, I then make it my business to collect the prices. _Q._ Do you mean to represent that the Stocks had not risen from what they ended at on Saturday before any news came to the Stock Exchange; had not they risen considerably that morning? _A._ I think not, because if I recollect, there were reports in the morning that news had arrived. _Q._ We have heard from some gentlemen that they sold stock as soon as the Stock Exchange opened; now I ask whether stock had not been sold at a rise before the news arrived? _A._ Yes. _Mr. Gurney._ But you say before the market opened there were some reports of a Messenger having arrived? _A._ Yes. _Mr. Charles Addis, sworn._ _Examined by Mr. Gurney._ _Q._ Have you a house in Shorter's-court? _A._ No, I have not; I am concerned for a gentleman who has some property there. _Q._ You have the letting of a house for a gentleman there? _A._ I have. _Q._ Was any application made to you in the week prior to the 21st of February for any part of that house? _A._ Yes, on the 15th or 16th, I think Mr. Cochrane Johnstone applied to me for an Office in a house, the letting of which was under my management. _Q._ What number in Shorter's-court did he finally fix upon? _A._ It is number 5, the house almost immediately adjoining the Stock Exchange. _Q._ Did he on that day take any part of the house of you? _A._ He took one room for an office in that house on that day. _Q._ The house in which Mr. Fearn is now? _A._ Yes. _Q._ How soon did he take any more? _A._ He called on the following day and engaged another office. _Q._ That was the 16th then? _A._ I believe it was the 16th, I will not be positive, and he called on the following day the 17th, being the third time. _Q._ Did he, when he called on the 17th, write that letter in your office (_handing it to the Witness_.) _A._ This is a letter he left in my absence in the office, on which day I cannot say, but this was a letter that he left for me. _Q._ That was on the third day after he had engaged the three offices? _A._ Yes. _Q._ He had then engaged all three? _A._ Yes. _Q._ Are they three rooms in the same house? _A._ Three rooms in the same house. _Q._ (_To Mr. Fearn_) Is that letter Mr. Cochrane Johnstone's hand writing?
