Lord Ellenborough. But that would be done through a broker.
Mr. Taddy. If your Lordship will allow me to suggest on behalf of the witness, that in an action for the penalties, the question would be whether he knew they were possessed of the stock, or not, and this would go to make out his knowledge.
Mr. Serjeant Best. Do you know whether either of those persons on that day sold any stock or omnium, which they had not purchased before?
Lord Ellenborough. That question must be limited to any thing in which you have not had participation in the way of sale, otherwise you may criminate yourself—having given you that caution, you may do as you please.
A. They did not.
Lord Ellenborough. That is not imputed to them.
Mr. Serjeant Best. The use I mean to make of it I have no objection to state now.
Lord Ellenborough. No, you need not, I leave it entirely to your judgment.
Mr. Serjeant Best. I think you told us before, those gentlemen told you, whenever the stock rose to one per cent, above what they had bought at, to sell.
A. Yes, they did.
