Part 152

Lord Ellenborough. Are you sure that when you made that memorandum, you had perfectly in your recollection from whom you took that note?

A. Yes, perfectly.

Mr. Richardson. You did not keep this distinct from your other notes?

A. No.

Q. You mixed it with your other notes?

A. Yes.

Q. You marked it several days afterwards?

A. I marked it between the 31st of March and the 4th of April, when I remitted it.

Q. You put your name upon every bank note that passes through your hands?

A. No, I do not.

Q. Why did you put your name upon this?

A. I cannot give a satisfactory answer why.

Q. Do you generally put your initials on notes that pass through your hands, or not?

A. No, I do not.

Q. How came you to do so in this particular case?

A. I have before answered that I cannot give a satisfactory reason.

Q. At Sunderland, which is a place of great business, do not a large number of bank notes pass through your hands?

A. Yes, there do of course.

Lord Ellenborough. Did the transaction of your sending Durham notes, and his objecting to not having more bank notes, fix the circumstance of the L.40. note more strongly in your memory?

A. I have not had another L.40. note since that.

Q. Nor had you at the time?

A. No, I had not.

Q. Nor since?

A. No.

Mr. Gurney. The only remaining head of evidence that I have to trouble your lordship with, is with respect to a check for L.56. 5s. paid by Mr. Fearn to Mr. Butt, and the produce of that.

Mr. Pattesall sworn;

Examined by Mr. Gurney.

Q. Are you a partner in the house of Bond & Company?
