_Q._ On that Sat.u.r.day?

_Q._ What did you do with that 20,000?
_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.

_Cross-examined by Mr. Brougham._

_A._ Yes, formerly I was.
_Q._ Did you not apply to Mr. b.u.t.t, stating that you had a wife and family, and wishing him to give you some employment.

_Q._ Did you not apply to Mr. b.u.t.t yourself to ask him to serve you.

_Q._ Was any of the Omnium bought for Mr. b.u.t.t, paid for?
_A._ I would rather decline answering that.
_Mr. Francis Baily called again._
_Examined by Mr. Gurney._
_Q._ These gentlemen have informed us that they have furnished you with the exact statements of all the purchases and sales; have you drawn out from their statements the purchases and sales, and the daily balances of each?
_A._ I have. It may be necessary to state, Mr. Richardson has not furnished me with a written account, but I have taken it down now from his own mouth.
_Q._ Have you from that made out a general statement of the several accounts containing the daily purchases, the daily sales, and the daily balances?
_A._ I have.
_Q._ For Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, Lord Cochrane, and Mr. b.u.t.t?
