said, No, the whole transaction you knew or should have known what has happened, you only parted with £5.
Well Gentlemen, these transactions are, of seem to be, of a similar xxixxu kind, and even if Mr Brewer rests his case upon the illustration of a legal position, I am very doubtful as to whether that is a suitable basis, if you hold that the transactions wære a mere cloak and that the real object was to increase their capital.
well gentlemen, I suggest to you that the first point to decide in your minds is whether the policy in respect of which this Vertificate was written was to represent the dank as having a large capital which in fact did not exist. The bar. Arewer knew and adopted the policy and the question whether cash was in fact received is merely & commonsense question. You have all the evidence in your possession.. if you think lar. Brewer here is responsible for that and if you think the object was to deceive the public it is for you to decide. will you consider your verdict.
