Q. Were you api^lied to by Messrs. Ayre and by Mr. Kidd for a portion , 
of the sample ? — A. No, I never was applied to for a sample of the cakes. 
[Correspondence between Mr. Wells and Mr. Ayre objected to by Mr. 
Field, on the same ground as Mr. Seymour's previous objection to Mr. Wells'.] 
Mr. Seymour : You did send up a portion of the two tons ? — A. I did from 
each place. 
Q. They were sent in a bag? — A. They were sent in a bag from Booth 
Ferry, broken. 
Q. What sort of bag ? — A. A little thin bag. The men will speak to it 
[The Bag was produced.] 
Q. It is what we call a guano bag ? — A. Yes. 
Q. How did the two tons of cake come to your place ? — A. My foreman 
Bent a waggon for it. 
Q. Where to ?—A. To the Eailway Station. 
Q. At that station where it came from, are there chemicals and other 
matters of commerce stored.? — A. I am sm^e I cannot say, every thing 
generally comes to Railway Stations. 
Q. Have you any chemical manures at Booth Ferrj' ? — A. Yes, we have, 
for our farming purposes, but they are stored always in a house. 
Q. Where was the cake stored.? — A. In what we call the chop chamber, 
close by the cake-breaker — a machine for breaking cake. 
Q. What about the clover ? — A. Nothing about the clover. There was no ' 
clover. 
Q. I thought you said it was where they chopped the clover ? — A. It is in 
the house where they chop the clover in the -winter time. 
Q. Is it put upon the same floor where the clover is chopped? — A, The 
same floor. 
Mr. Seymour : Were your cattle being fed with clover as well as mangolds ?i 
—A. No, they were fed with straw. — Oh ! the cows were fed with clover. 
Q. Had they besides clover and mangolds any potatoes or turnips ? — No, 
the cows bad not, the fed beasts had, 
^ Mr. J ustice Blackburn : I suppose all this is material ? 
Mr. Seymour : It is. 
TheWiTNEss : My Lord, I am not speaking of my 'own knowledge ; the feeders 
will come and tell you everything, but this is what I understand was done. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn: I dare say it will be generally quite accurate; 
if you make a mistake it will be corrected. You say the cows bad clover 1 
A. They would have hay or clover. 
Mr. Seymour : My question is whether the milch cows were not fed with 
clover as well as mangolds ? — Yes, clover or hay. I cannot say which. 
Q. And the fattening beasts, were they fed with potatoes and turnips?—' 
A. Potatoes and turnips, at Booth Ferry. 
Q. I am asking about Booth Ferry ; but when you say that do you nieani 
to distinguish it from Sancton? — A. I want to distinguish itx from Airmyn 
Pastures — each farm by itself. 
Q. You were without linseed cake, if I understand you, at Booth Ferry, fori 
a furtiiiL;htV — A. I should think we should be. 
Q. Would it be a little more than a fortnight?—^. No, I think that would 
be the outside. 
V- Then this cow that died during that time, her particular food would be 
mangold and clover? — A. She would have just the same quantity of mangold 
— at least, I suppose so. Eeally these questions should be answered by the. 
man, for I was not there to see it. 
Q. Do you know what quantity of linseed cake she had been feeding on?— 
A. No ; the man will answer all these questions, because I never saw thei 
animals fed.
