feeding cake ? — A. He sent me a parcel by the Parcels Delivery Company. 
Mr. Justice Blackbukn : Whom did you receive that from ? — A. From Dr. 
Yoelcker, my Lord. 
Dr. Yoelcker was here recalled, and proved that the parcel contained sam- 
ples of the broken cake from Booth Ferry, and of the cake from Airmyn 
Pastures. 
Examination of Mr. TUSON continued ly Mr. Field. 
Q. Have you submitted both samples to chemical analysis ? — A. I have. 
Q. Do you find that they agree ? — A. They agree. 
Q. Have you got a copy that you can hand to the Court ? — A. I have my 
notes here. 
I Q. First of all take the fragments, and give us the chemical analysis of 
I them? — A. It contains, "moisture, 7'75 per cent. ; oil, 12'67 ; mucilage, etc., 
t 27'64: ; then flesh formers, albumenoid bodies, 33"48." 
Q. Containing how much nitrogen? — A. I have not got that. 
Mr. Justice 13lackbukn : Here there is a mark showing that. Do not 
your notes show it ? — A. No, my Lord, it is in my report, 
Mr. Seymour : What is the amount ? 
Mr. Field : 5-4. 
The Witness : Yes. " Fibre, 10-23 ; ash, 8-23." 
Q. Now give us the analysis of the whole cake ? — A. " Moisture, 7'47 ; oil, 
12-31 ; mucilage, etc., 27-71 ; albumenoids, 32-80 ; fibre, 10-88 ; ash, 8-83. 
Total, 100." 
Q. How much niti-ogen in the albumenoids? — A. It is in my report. It is 
not here in my notes. 
Mr. Seymouk : Will you tell me ? 
Mr. Field : 5-29. (To the Witness.) Does this analysis enable yo-j. to 
form any judgment as to whether they were pure cakes or otherwise, or 
whether they contained other elements ? — A. Not at all. 
( Q. You have heard what Profes.sor Yoelcker says as to that ; do you agree 
\ with him as to that ? — A. Quite so — entirely. 
' Q. What is the next step in finding out what you want to know as to the 
actual composition of the cake — A. To make a microscopic examination of 
Q. Did you do that?— ^. I did. 
Q. Tell me what you found on microscopical examination ? — A. I found 
that the cake chiefly consisted of linseed, bran, and sesame. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : Are you speaking now of both samples ; is there 
any difference between them ? — A. Practically no difference. Then I found 
dodder seeds, millet, wheat, barley (I am now referring to husks, not to whole . 
seeds). 
Q. Does that observation apply to all — am I to change the dodder, millet, 
wheat, and all into husks ? — A. No. Those w-ere the w-hole seeds — the dodder, 
millet, and charlock. 
Q. Charlock ! you did not mention that before. Then it is the wheat and 
I barley that were husks.? — A. Yes, my Lord, with some other husks — oat, 
rice, and cotton seed husks, and the husks of the cocoa or palm nut. I cannot 
distinguish one from the other. Besides these I di.=covered other seeds which. 
I could not name until after consultation with Dr. Voelcker ; and these other 
seeds, or many of them, were pointed out to be as follows, 
Mr. Seymour : By whom ? — A. By Dr. Voelcker. 
Mr. Field: Were they the same as Dr. Voelcker has mentioned? — A. 
Yes.
