to'the witness), and tell me whether you do not discover some of the husks 
of wheat there ? — A. I would not pretend to say. 
Q. But I mean similar to what you saw ? — A. Oh, dear no. 
Q. Are there husks ? — A. I see here and there seeds which are certainly 
not linseed ; what they are I could not say without a patient and quiet 
analysis. 
Mr. Justice BlackbitivN : What sample is that ? 
Mr. Seymour : The sample I handed to the witness was a piece that was 
broken off by Professor Voelcker. 
Mr. Field : Put " E " upon it (to the witness). Now this has been shown 
to you, and you say it does not accord at all with the cake that you saw ? — 
A. Oh, dear no. 
Professor THOMAS FAIRLEY sworn : examined by Mr. Melloh. 
Q. Are you consulting chemist of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society ? — A. 
I am. 
Q. And on the 19th of February did you receive from Mr. Wells a sample 
of cake for analysis? — A. I did. 
Q. Did he afterwards give you any other samples ? — A. He afterwards gave 
me other three at different times. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : Can you give us the dates of the other three ? — 
A. The second sample was in the first week of March. I do not remember 
the date. The third samj^le on the 19th July, and the fourth sample on the 
1st of August. 
Mr. Melloe : Did you make a chemical analysis of each sample as you 
received it ? — A. I did. 
[Some discussion here arose as to the identity of the samples.] 
Mr. Mellor : Now as to the chemical analysis of the first sample ? — A. 
From Booth Ferry, No. 1. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : This is the analysis, as I understand it, of the 
sample which was given him on the 19th of February, which was a sample 
of the stuff which was broken up at Booth Ferry. That is how I under- 
stand it.
