_Q._ Was he a clerk of yours, or employed by them?
_A._ He was employed by them.
_Q._ Had you taken that office, or had it been taken for you?
_A._ Mr. Johnstone had taken his with one room or two rooms, I am not sure which.
_Q._ Had the office been taken for you, or had you yourself gone and taken it?
_A._ They had taken those two rooms, I believe, without intending to take any more; but as I was not pleasantly situated, and was rather too far from business, I wished to have an office there, if they could procure it; several of my friends went to look at it, and finding it convenient, I requested them to take the whole of it, if they could, in order that I might be accommodated.
_Lord Ellenborough._ Whom do you mean by friends, Mr. Cochrane Johnstone?
_A._ No, other persons for whom I did business.
_Mr. Gurney._ When was this done?
_A._ In the course of the week preceding.

_Mr. Gurney._ Did they afterwards take a third?
_A._ They afterwards took the whole that is in my possession.
_Q._ You have all of them in your possession now?
_A._ I have.
