A. Yes; it was generally believed it was a confirmation of the former report.
Q. Did that second rise which took place upon the chaise going through the city, extend still higher than it had been on the report of the arrival of the messenger?
A. I think it did.
Cross-examined by Mr. Park.
Q. You are not under the same restraint as the other persons are, can you tell us whether these were real transactions, or only fictitious ones which daily take place at the Stock Exchange?
A. The accounts which were given in, I think were given in for time, but I have only taken out the figures.
Lord Ellenborough. I should imagine the witness would say that from the magnitude of the accounts he would think they were for time?
A. Certainly.
Mr. Park. I want to know, for I have never had Omnium in my life, whether you are not competent to say from your knowledge of these accounts, that these are all what they call time bargains?
A. There is nothing stated upon the face of these accounts as to what days the purchases are made for; possibly they may be for time.
