Are you a stock-broker in this City?—Yes.
Do you know Mr. Zulueta?—Yes, perfectly well, for sixteen years.
What opinion have you formed of him during that time?—Of the very highest description, and in all my intercourse with houses in the Royal Exchange, I have never found but the same opinion was expressed by all of him as a private individual, and as a member.
