Where were the Heaves executed between you and Lord Melville ?—The relea.e was signed by his Lordship at his own house in Scotland, and by myself in London.

What was the largest sum you *ter had in your hands of the private account of Led Melville at one timeleeThat are.ears perfectly impossible for ma to ascertain, As his private transac tions passed ouonelt an Account current in which his Lordship was generally indekted to mot ; but at other times the balance was in favour of his Lordship, when I neither cherry -d interest upon any balance due by his L ordship, linr did I charge myself with any interest at times when the balance may have been iii his Lord.hip's favour. Do you recollect the largest balance in the account current that ever appeared in favour of Lord elevate ?—..ln an account comprehending so long a perked, it is very difficult for me to give an accurate answer to that question; hut it certainly has at some time been as large as between 2,0001. tar 2,0001. in Lord Melville's favour. Do you recollect the largest balance in the account current that ever appeared in your favour, wall the um. degree of accuracy ?--21 do Rot recollect with the same degree of accuracy, but I have upon a former occasion declared it hail never ex ceeded from 10 to 20,0091.
