Mr. Gurney. To save my learned friend time, my account shews every day's purchases, and every day's sales from that time.
Mr. Serjeant Best. Be so good as to look at that printed paper, and tell me whether that is not a correct statement of Mr. Cochrane Johnstone's account with you.
A. I cannot tell from this book.
Mr. Gurney. I believe the accounts will agree to a farthing, from the time they each begin.
Mr. Serjeant Best. Then the larger sales will appear upon this paper without troubling his Lordship to take them down upon his notes; there were very large sales for all of them several days precedent to the 21st.
A. Yes, there were.
Q. I believe they began these speculations as early as the month of November, did they not?
A. Yes.
Q. Mr. Butt managed principally—very much for these gentlemen—for Lord Cochrane particularly?
A. Yes, he did.
