Mr. Scarlett. Mr. Johnstone having written you that letter which has been read, to ask your opinion about De Berenger, did you state to him what was your opinion, as to his power of extricating himself?
A. I had some conversation with Mr. Johnstone, as I had had several times.
Q. In consequence of the letter which has just been read?
A. Yes; I replied to the letter shortly, and I had conversation with him in consequence.
Lord Ellenborough. Do you know whether Mr. Johnstone made any answer to the letter?
A. To the Baron? I really do not.
Mr. Scarlett. Is that your answer to Mr. Johnstone? (shewing a letter to the witness.)
A. Yes, it is.
Mr. Scarlett. If your Lordship will allow that to be read.
