A. No; I do not know that I have.

Lord Ellenborough. That is not of much consequence, I should think.

Mr. Gurney. Any distance my friends please.

Mr. Park. It is of consequence when it comes to eleven o'clock, the stock was all sold by that time.

A. I saw him read the note in the passage of the manufactory.

Lord Ellenborough. He made no observation upon reading it?

A. No; not that I heard.

A. No.

Lord Ellenborough. His Lordship did not make any observation upon reading it?
