Q. As to this, you say : " I find it is made from clean linseed aud nothing 
' st<, and in my opinion is a first-class pure linseed-cake " ? — A. Yes. 
Q. Now I want to call your attention to another analysis of yours. I think 
you made an analysis for Messrs. Barclaj- and ComiJany — A. It is very likely. 
Q. In May last (handing a paper to the witness) ? — A. Yes. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : Did you make that analysis in May last ? — A. 
Kot this ; no, I did not make any for Messrs. Barclay and Company. This is 
an analysis of a cake. 
Mr. Seymouk : That is what I asked — a linseed-cake ? — A. It was not 
a linseed cake. 
Mr. Justice Blackbubx : Is it yours at all ? 
The Witness : There are two analyses ; there is one of the pure linseed- 
i cake, which is taken fiom some published results, as I take it. I did not 
analyse that for Messrs. Barclay. 
Mr. Seymour : Taken from some published results — but did you take it ? — 
A. No. 
Q. Then I will put it in another form. Suppose you were to meet with an 
analysis containing oil, 10'88 ; albuminous compounds, 26*25 ; mucilage, sugar 
and digestible fibre, 23'80 ; making altogether 50'05 in the 100 : would that 
be a pure linseed cake — would that be such a proportion as you would say 
would be consistent with a pure good-feeding linseed-cake ? — A. Yes ; about 
that. 
' Q. I think there was a sample sent up to you by Mr. Knowles, of Hull, 
I which I want to ask you a question about (handing a document to the witness) ? 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : When was this ? 
The Witness : Last month, July the 24th. 
Mr. Seymour : Did you on that day receive from Mr. Knowles, of Hull, a 
sample of linseed-cake ? — A. Yes, I did. 
Q. And I think you found it to contain oil 12"16, albuminous comiraunds 
' 29'68, mucilage, sugar, and digestible fibre 26-24, making all together 68'08? 
— A. Yes. 
Q. And I think you pronounce that to be ? — A. A pure cake. 
Q. You say you found it a superior, genuine linseed-cake, made from clean 
: linseed and nothing else? — A. Yes. 
!' Q. This is a sample of pure seed, I think (hanc^ing a bottle to the witness).? 
■ — A. Yes ; that is a fairly clean seed. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn: What are these? Are they the seeds or the 
cake? 
Mr. Seymour : I have shown him a specimen 'of linseed, my Lord, and I 
will i^rove by-and-by that the cake was made out of it. (To the witness.) What 
■ is this (handing a bottle to the witness) ? — A. This is sesam^. 
f Mr. Justice Blackburn : Sesame-cake or sesame-seed? — A. Sesame-cake, 
f Mr. Egberts : Sample A is clean linseed, and sample B is the other. 
Mr. Seymour : Now, just tell mo, if you please, does that appear to you to 
be a fair specimen of linseed (pointing to sample A) ? — A. Yes, it is fairly 
clean. 
Q. Does not that contain, visible to the eye, a number of those seeds that 
you have mentioned? — A. Yes ; I recognise several already, amongst them, my 
; friend the drunken darnel. 
Q. This is a bottle containing a sample of sesame-cake (handing the same 
■ to the witness). Did you find any of that in the analysis you made the other 
day for Mr. Knowles ? — No. 
I Q. There is a favourite expression of modern times — " would you be sur- 
prised to find " that 20 per cent, of it was of that cake ?— ^. Not at all. 
Q. You mean you would not be surprised? — A. I would not be surprised. 
Q. Therefore I may take it you would certify a cake to be nothing else than
