Lord Ellenborough. The L.450. is to be added to these bank notes?

Mr. Scarlett. The witness was not present when Mr. Butt lent the L.200. I was about to shew, that besides the L.450. that Mr. Smallbone lent, Lord Cochrane wanted L.200. more, and that he went out to get it.

Lord Ellenborough. Did you see the L.200. lent to Lord Cochrane?

A. No.

Q. How do you know it was lent?

A. Because I was told so by Lord Cochrane.

Lord Ellenborough. Then it comes to nothing?
