 meal.

 coming? A. No, sir. 



COUNSEL I object to this. 



Mr. PRENTICE My sole object is to identify the sample of milk 

 taken from a cow in the City of New York this morning, so that we 

 may have one instance of genuine milk actually in court to-day. 

 I desire to make this quart of milk an exhibit. 



COUNSEL For what purpose ? 



Mr. PRENTICE For such a purpose as we may offer it^-simply to 

 identify this exhibit ; I desire to make a test of it. 



COUNSEL If they will admit that the milk which was taken at 

 the defendant's store as they claim was city cow's milk, we have no 

 objection to this statement. 



The COURT If you propose to follow this up by other evidence 

 as to the test of the milk I will receive it. 



By COUNSEL Q. All the milk you got from this cow at this milk- 

 ing was two quarts and a half? A. I should judge it was as much 

 as two quarts and a half.

 condition.
