Lord Ellenborough. Whether there were colonades, and so on, or not, I should think cannot be material.

Mr. Park. The production of the plan is necessary only, to shew that it is worth the money which was paid.

Lord Ellenborough. I only wish to avoid useless particularity; I do not wish to curtail you of the least particle of proper proof.

Mr. Scarlett. Do you know, whether, in the month of September in the last year, Mr. De Berenger had made considerable progress in that plan?

A. He had; he had nearly completed it.

Q. He had not quite completed it?

A. No.

Q. Do you know whether, shortly before Mr. Cochrane Johnstone went to Scotland in September, he made him any payment on account of that?

A. He did, through my medium.

Q. Besides the plan, had De Berenger prepared a prospectus, with a full and minute description of the objects of the design?
