COUNSEL FOB PROSECUTION Did you taste it ? A. I did, sir. 



Q. And do you use the nose too, in testing milk ? A. Yes, sir.

 or not in this case ; it was hardly necessary however, because it was 

 not sour milk.

COUNSEL FOE THE PEOPLE Well, sir ; upon this day you tested 

 this milk ? A. Yes, sir.

 lactometer.

 that you made of that milk at that time ? A. It stood at 85 by 

 that instrument, at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahr. 



Q. Now, I ask you what was the condition of that milk at that 

 time ? A. The milk did not appear to me to be perfectly good 

 milk. 

 . COUNSEL I move to strike out that answer. 



WITNESS I have already stated that the milk behaved as adul- 

 terated milk behaves. 



COUNSEL We object ; this is the very question involved in the 

 case, whether the article sold here was impure milk. 



Q. By COUNSEL FOR PEOPLE Well, these various tests that you 

 made at that time with this instrument and with your observations, 

 you determined, as I understand you to say (if not correct me), that 

 it had been adulterated by water at the rate of fifteen per cent, of 

 water added ? A. Yes, sir.
