self is the 19th of February; the money is found in this desk after he had gone off. Then the bank notes of L.100 each are shewn to Mr. Lance; he says, "On the 24th February I went to the bank to change some bank notes for smaller notes, by the desire of Mr. Butt;" the notes were shewn to him, and he says, "those are the notes," I received two hundred notes of L.1 each for them. Upon his cross examination, he says, "I remember on the 15th of February Mr. Butt lending Lord Cochrane L.200;" but on examination, it turns out that he only heard it, and did not see it lent. "I went with this check to get the money to Jones and Loyd's, I gave the notes of L.100 each to Lord Cochrane, I was not present when Lord Cochrane paid those notes back to Mr. Butt, I received those notes from Mr. Butt afterwards, and it was by Mr. Butt's desire I changed them for small notes at the bank." Then he says, "I advanced L.450 to Lord Cochrane, as clerk to Mr. Smallbone; when he had got this check for L.450 he wanted L.200 more; Mr. Butt was not present. I do not know when Lord Cochrane gave these two L.100 notes to Mr. Butt, which by Mr. Butt's desire I took to the bank." John Bilson and Thomas Northover, who are clerks in the bank, are shewn the two notes of L.100 each; Bilson says, these two notes were sent for payment in the bank on the 24th of February: I have the book here in my own hand-writing, they were paid in L.1 notes, and he specifies the number of each; we have looked over the notes in De Berenger's trunk before the grand jury; here are forty-nine, part of the two hundred. Thomas Christmas says, "I am clerk to Mr. Fearn; I remember being sent on the 24th of February to change a note for L.200; I went to Messrs. Bond and Co's.; that is the note I gave; I received two notes of L.100 each; I then took those two notes to the bank, and changed them for two hundred notes of L.1 each; I gave them to Mr. Fearn; I did not see what Mr. Fearn did with them; I put Mr. Fearn's name upon the two L.100 notes before I gave them in at the bank." Mr. Miller, a bank clerk, produced the two L.100 notes, and Christmas says, "Those are the notes." Mr. Fearn says, "On the 24th of February I received from Christmas two hundred notes of L.1 each; I gave them to Mr. Butt, and he gave them to Mr. Cochrane Johnstone." Bilson and Northover, the bank clerks, say, "That on the 24th of February they paid to Fearn two hundred L.1 notes, for two notes
