A. Ten o'clock.
Mr. Serjeant Best. Did you not sell out very large sums before either of them came near the place that morning?
A. I think I had began to sell before they came, but I cannot say positively.
Q. Had you not sold to a considerable amount, if you can tax your memory with it, or refresh your memory by looking at any book?
A. I think I had.
Q. Can you tell us to what amount you had sold before any of them came?—I do not ask to a few shillings, we deal in thousands here.
A. I cannot positively say—I had done much before I saw either of them, for I was in the habit of doing twenty or thirty and reporting to them.
Q. Do you mean thousands?
A. Yes.
