A. Exactly so; there was that quantity sold more than he had purchased.
Q. What was Mr. Butt's Consol Account?
A. £178,000, and he sold only £168,000.
Lord Ellenborough. Then there was £24,000 too much of his Omnium, and £10,000 too little of his Consols sold?
Mr. Gurney. Exactly so. Now what was the gross amount of their account of balances on that day?
A. £759,000 Omnium, and £278,000 Consols.
Q. As we are not so well acquainted with Omnium as you are, if that were reduced to Consols what would they have amounted to?
A. It may be necessary to state, that every thousand pounds Omnium consists of £1100 Reduced and £670 Consols, therefore the whole amount of that would be £1,611,430 three per cents.
Q. Now upon that amount, what would the fraction of a single eighth per cent. be?
A. £2014:5:9.
