Mr. Park. But when once the expression is used by my learned friend, persons do not get rid of it again.
Lord Ellenborough. If he published it as an affidavit, it is quoad him an affidavit.
Mr. Park. To be sure, my Lord.
Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Best.
Q. You have said that he brought this paper to you, giving you directions to have it printed?
A. He wished it to be inserted in the newspapers.
Q. Tell us all that he said to you at the time; did he not at the time when he was giving you directions to print it, say, that if De Berenger was the man, he had given the Stock Exchange the clue to it?
A. After reading the affidavit, his Lordship said "I once saw Captain De Berenger at dinner."
Lord Ellenborough. Was this at the time?
A. Yes; he said "I once saw Captain De Berenger at Mr. Basil Cochrane's—I have no reason to think that Captain De Berenger is capable of so base a transaction, but if he is, I have given the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange the best clue to find him out."
