d the other clerk gives over the notes? _A._ Yes. _Q._ Have you all the numbers there? _A._ Yes, I have. _Mr. Gurney._ I am sorry to trouble your Lordship with having these numbers read; they do not happen to be in sequence. Will you go over those numbers? _A._ 27th August, No. 1,048. _Lord Ellenborough._ You had better see what you apply your proof to, otherwise he must go through the list. _Mr. Gurney._ I am told these clerks have examined all these notes. You have looked over all these notes found in Mr. De Berenger's trunk, have you not? _A._ I have not looked over them to-day; we looked over them before the Grand Jury. _Q._ Look over that parcel, and tell me whether you paid all that parcel [_handing a parcel of bank notes to the witness_.] [_The Witness and Mr. Thomas Northover examined the notes._] _A._ Yes; those were paid. _Q._ There are forty-nine in number? _A._ Yes. _Lord Ellenborough._ Were all those forty-nine part of the two hundred pounds that were given in exchange for the two L.100. notes? _A._ They were. _A Juryman._ What were the numbers of the two L.100. notes? _A._ No. 16,601 and No. 18,468. _Mr. Hilary Miller sworn;_ _Examined by Mr. Gurney._ _Q._ You are a clerk in the Bank? _A._ Yes. _Q._ Have you forty-seven one pound notes that have come into the bank? _A._ I have fifty-seven [_the witness produces them_.] _Mr. Gurney._ (_to Bilson and Northover_) Look and see whether those fifty-seven are also part of the same payment? _Miller._ I believe that part of those notes were received at another period. _Mr. Northover._ They do not appear to arise from this transaction. _Mr. Gurney._ I will state to your Lordship the effect of this; perhaps it is hardly worth pursuing; they came into the bank from various quarters, and Mr. De Berenger's name is upon them, but not in his hand-writing. _Mr. Bilson._ Here are some of them in this account. _Lord Ellenborough._ They do not appear to be evidence. _Mr. Gurney._ Then I will not pursue that. _Thomas Christmas sworn;_ _Examined by Mr. Gurney._ _Q._ Were you clerk to Mr. Fearn, in February last? _A._ I was. _Q._ Do you recollect being sent on the 24th of February to change a note for two hundred pounds? _A._ Yes. _Q._ By whom were you sent? _A._ By Mr. Fearn. _Q._ Where did you go to change that note? _A._ To Messrs. Bond & Pattesall
