by Unknown

Q. In what description of bank notes?

A. The money was lent in fact by Mr. Smallbone, and he made up the difference; it is not usual to pay in bank notes, and we made it up in checks; his Lordship had left his money at the west end of the town.

Mr. Scarlett. You advanced his Lordship £.450.?

A. Yes.

Q. Was that all that he wanted, or did he want more?

A. No, he wanted £.200. more.

Lord Ellenborough. This advance must all be in paper?

Mr. Scarlett. Yes, my Lord, it is not material to my purpose to shew how Mr. Butt made this advance to him.

Lord Ellenborough. If it was a loan and you rely upon it as such, you must shew in what it was?

A. The £.450. was in a check.
