did not pay for." Whether it is yet paid for, nobody has
informed us.

Mr. Baily is then called again, and he says, "In consequence of
inquiries that had been made, Mr. Holloway and Lyte attended the
committee of the Stock Exchange. Holloway denied any knowledge of the
transaction, after which he came and confessed that he had planned that
plot or participated in it; he said that he had done it with view to
obtain money by a rise in the public funds; and Lyte said that he had
been employed by Mr. M'Rae, at Mr. Holloway's solicitation. Lyte stated,
that he and Sandom, and M'Rae, rode in the post chaise from Northfleet
to Dartford, and afterwards from Dartford to London; there were present
at this time, Mr. Wakefield, Mr. Lavie, and Mr. Chaumette. Holloway and
Lyte came together, and what Lyte stated, was in the presence of
Holloway; he (Holloway) stated, that he was not aware of the serious
turn it would take; but finding that it had taken so serious a turn, he
had come forward and confessed it, in the hope that the Stock Exchange
would not pursue it to extremities. He was asked, whether he had any
connexion with Lord Cochrane, Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, or Mr. Butt, and
he denied that he had;" and certainly, if his denial was complete
evidence of the fact, it would be proper for your consideration in that
respect; but what he admits is to be taken as against himself, subject
to your discreet consideration of the whole of the circumstances; and
you will, upon the whole, determine, whether these defendants conspired
with the rest in the promotion of the same end, accomplished by the same
or similar means, about the very same period. Mr. Baily adds, that
nothing he supposes, but the publicity of the measures, induced
Holloway to come forward; and that he believes Holloway stated, that he
would communicate all he knew of the business, because M'Rae had
offered, for a large sum of money (I believe that sum was mentioned to
be ten thousand pounds) to come forward; he denied also any connexion
with De Berenger.

Several Brokers are then called. Mr. Robert Hichens, one of them, says;
I have known Mr. Cochrane Johnstone for several years, I have never done
business for him till the present year; from the 8th of February to the
19th, I made various purchases for him, the balance was L.250,000
omnium, at the leaving off of the business on Saturday; I furnished Mr.
Baily with an account of the purchases and sales on Monday the 21st;
