?

_A._ A day or two afterwards.

_Lord Ellenborough._ Before you parted with it?

_A._ Yes.

_Mr. Richardson._ You are the agent of the Durham Bank?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ You have a great many notes passing through your hands?

_A._ Yes.

_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. 5_s._ 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?

_A._ I am.

_Q._ Look at that check of Mr. Fearn's, did you pay that?

_A._ I did not.

_Q._ Who did pay it?

_A._ Mr. Evans, a clerk of ours.

_Q._ Is Mr. Evans here?

_A._ Upon my word I cannot tell.

_Mr. Gurney._ He has been expressly desired to be in attendance.

_Lord Ellenborough._ Then call him upon his subpoena if he does not
appear.

_Mr. Gurney._ Just look and see whether the entry is Evans's
hand-writing.

_A._ It is Evans's hand-writing.

_Thomas Evans was called on his subpoena, and did not
appear.
