A. Some months.
Q. Then it was not at Mr. Cochrane Johnstone's desire that you became a surety for the Rules for this person?
A. Certainly not.
Q. Was Mr. Cochrane, who, I understand from Mr. Brushoft, was your co-surety, any relation of Mr. Cochrane Johnstone?
A. No.
Lord Ellenborough. That has been proved over and over again; nobody made an observation upon it.
Mr. Park. I beg your Lordship's pardon; there could be no other motive, I conceive, in calling Mr. Brushoft.
Lord Ellenborough. I understood him to be called to prove, that Mr. Tahourdin was a surety for the defendant; I never heard an observation made upon Mr. Cochrane, as being a relation.
Mr. Park. Are you acquainted with the hand-writing of your client, Mr. De Berenger?
A. Perfectly.
