t Estimated by difference. 
The sample contains much starchy matter, and if anything less of w 
seeds than the other. The chemical analysis can scarcely be said to show 
practical difference. I think bran is the chief adulterant. 
27, Commercial-street, Leeds, 
March 27tb, 1872. 
Mr. Mellor : Xo. 1 seems to be the same thing as that of the 19th 
February ? — A. Yes. 
Q. You found no substantial difference ? 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : You do not read it quite as the copy before me ' 
but I think as far as I can see, there is substantially no very great differen- 
between the bulk and the sample. 
The Witness : There is not, but there is more nitrogen in the sample, anc 
a degree less of digestible fibre ; so that the bulk is shown to be better that 
the sample. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : You may take it it is substantially the same. 
Mr. Seymour : If anything the bulk is better than the sample. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : At all events they substantially agree. 
Mr. Mellor : Did you make an anal3-sis of the third sample ? — A. Yes. 
Q. Did you make a microscopic examination of the one that has just beei 
alluded to? — A. I did ; the sample verified the fact that the same seeds wer 
present ns I fo\ind in No. 1. 
Q. The same in both samples as in No. 1 ? — A. Yes, and also in that Kepor 
I mention that I think bran is present in the same quantity. » 
Mr. Seymour : In what quantity ? 
The Witness : That " bran is the chief adulterant," I think are the 
words that are used. 
Jlr. Justice Blackburn : Yes, that is the phrase used. 
Mr. Mellor : Are these your Reports of July and August (handing a docu 
ment to the witness) ? — A. Thcj- are. 
Q. The July cake was the Airmyn cake. Did you make an examinatio 
of that? — A. Yes, and the results are practically the same. 
The Associate read the Report which was as follows :—
