Q. What appears at last to be the gross balance held by each of them on the 19th February; what is Mr. Cochrane Johnstone's balance of Omnium from all those different accounts, on the 19th February?

A. L420,000.

Q. Now state Mr. Cochrane Johnstone's Consol Account.

A. L100,000.

Q. What was the balance of Lord Cochrane's Omnium account?

A. L139,000.

Q. Now state Mr. Butt's.

A. L200,000.

Q. And it appears, I see, that there were L24,000 sold too much on the Monday.

A. Exactly so; there was that quantity sold more than he had purchased.

Q. What was Mr. Butt's Consol Account?

A. L178,000, and he sold only L168,000.

Lord Ellenborough. Then there was L24,000 too much of his Omnium, and L10,000 too little of his Consols sold?

Mr. Gurney. Exactly so. Now what was the gross amount of their account of balances on that day?

A. L759,000 Omnium, and L278,000 Consols.

Q. As we are not so well acquainted with Omnium as you are, if that were reduced to Consols what would they have amounted to?

A. It may be necessary to state, that every thousand pounds Omnium consists of L1100 Reduced and L670 Consols, therefore the whole amount of that would be L1,611,430 three per cents.

Q. Now upon that amount, what would the fraction of a single eighth per cent. be?

A. L2014:5:9.

Lord Ellenborough. The whole of this fund was cleared on the 21st, except L10,000 Consols, and it was oversold by L24,000 Omnium?

A. Exactly so.

Mr. Gurney. Have you calculated from the accounts, the profits made by those sales of the 21st?

A. I have.
