ed by me as clerk to Mr. Smallbone.
_Lord Ellenborough._. In all L.450.
_A._ In all L.450.
_Q._ L.250. in these bank notes?
_A._ No, L.450. besides these bank notes.
_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?
_Mr. Scarlett._ He knows the fact that he wanted the L.200. You advanced
L.450. yourself?
_A._ Yes, I did.
_Lord Ellenborough._ In gold or bank notes?
_A._ In bank notes.
_Q._ In what description of bank notes?
_A._ The money was lent in fact by Mr. Smallbone, and he made up the
difference; it is not usual to pay in bank notes, and we made it up in
checks; his Lordship had left his money at the west end of the town.
_Mr. Scarlett._ You advanced his Lordship L.450.?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Was that all that he wanted, or did he want more?
_A._ No, he wanted L.200. more.
_Lord Ellenborough._ This advance must all be in paper?
_Mr. Scarlett._ Yes, my Lord, it is not material to my purpose to shew
how Mr. Butt made this advance to him.
_Lord Ellenborough._ If it was a loan and you rely upon it as such, you
must shew in what it was?
_A._ The L.450. was in a check.
_Lord Ellenborough._ Then that check must be shewn.
_Mr. Scarlett._ Mr. Butt was not present, was he?
_A._ Not that I know of.
_Q._ At what time Lord Cochrane gave these two L.100. notes to Mr. Butt
you do not know, do you?
_A._ No.
_Q._ But it was not by Lord Cochrane's desire you took them to the Bank.
_A._ No; by Mr. Butt's.
_Mr. John Bilson sworn;_
_Examined by Mr. Gurney._
_Q._ Look at these two L.100. notes; on the 24th of February; were those
two notes of L.100. each brought to the Bank to be exchanged for one
pound notes?
_A._ They were entered for payment in the Bank on that day.
_Q._ Have you there the book in which your own entries are made, or
those which are made by Mr. Northover?
_A._ I have the book in which is my own hand-writing.
_Q._ What notes did you pay this in?
_A._ One pound notes.
_Q._ You make the entries, an
