A. Certainly.
Q. And as to sales, had they not sold very large sums, long antecedent to the month of February?
A. Oh yes.
Q. Can you state as to my Lord Cochrane, for instance, had he not sold hundreds of thousands before that time?

Q. I would ask you, did he not from time to time, down to that time, continue to be selling large sums?
A. Yes.
