He did mit leave Ruerch and Co. recause of the saft with Mr. Rustomjee about Rope shares in which case he was the plaint ff. He remembered that the defence in that case was something like a fculous combluation to raise Rope shares.
Mr. Francis read the finding of the Jury as follows-We hold that for some time after this day there was a combination to raise up to Actitions prices the value of Rope shares of which the plaintiff was a partner,"
Winess said he did not remember it but as it was in print it must be correct. He recollected that he said that he and Mr. Shewan did not apply to Mr. Whichead for an advance or loan of shares and Mr. Whitehead wore directly the contrary. He remembered that the Judge in summing up ved the jury to accept Mr. Whitehead's version rather than bls. He remembered being flatly contradicted in what he sald by Mr. Tomes, are of his amplayers. It was not a fact that witness left Russel & Co. in con- sequence of this case. Mr. Pollistalle made no profitin baying and selling the Indo Chins shares on 6th November. The brokerage witness's firm had by the transactions was $ito.
