account, which I possessed on the 21st day of February, 1814,
amounted to L139,000 which I bought by Mr. Fearn (I think) on
the 12th ultimo at a premium of 28-1/4, that I did not hold on
that day any other sum on account in any other stock directly
or indirectly, and that I had given orders when it was bought
to dispose of it on a rise of one per cent, and it actually
was sold on an average at 29-1/2 premium, though on the day of
the fraud it might have been disposed of at 33-1/2. I further
swear, that the above is the only stock which I sold of any
kind on the 21st day of February, except L2000 in money which
I had occasion for, the profit of which was about L10.
Further, I do solemnly depose, that I had no connexion of
dealing with any one, save the above mentioned, and that I
did not at any time, directly or indirectly, by myself or by
any other, take or procure any office or apartment for any
broker or other person for the transaction of stock affairs."
