that way, but that it somehow or other affected the nerves of the rumen so as 
to take away the contiolling cause that prevented the fermentation ? — A. That, 
is the view I take of it. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : Very well, that ends the Defendant's case. 
Mr. Seymour : Then I will now begin the Plaintiffs case in reply. 
SAMUEL GEORGE KIDD, sworn: examined by. 
Mr. Seymour. 
Q. Are you an oil-merchant and seed-crusher carrying on your 
trade at Hull ? — A. I am. 
Q. And have you carried it on for some years ? — A. I have. 
Q. In a very large way ? — A. Well 
Q. In a large way ? — A. Yes, I think I stand fourth as far as 
the quantity of cake we make is concerned. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : At Hull, I suppose you mean? — 
A. At Hull. 
Mr. Seymour : In the trade, have you known brands that 
distinguish the different cakes and the different manufactures? — 
A. Yes. 
Q. And are there differences in the cake known among the 
commercial world — one cake from the other — both in price, and 
in name, and character ? — A. Certainly. 
Q. I believe there are three broad distinctions — what you call 
pure cake, genuine cake, and ordinary cake ? — A. Generally 
speaking. 
Q. The cake that we have heard of in this case was supplied 
to Mr. Wells : what was its brand and name ? — A. Supplied to 
Messrs. Ayre, Brothers ? 
Q. Yes ?—A. " Triangle best." 
Q. Have you a brand known as triangle cake simply ? — A, 
We call them " triangle common, or plain triangle." 
Mr. Field : It is not marked " triangle common." 
Mr. Seymour : There is " triangle," — plain triangle, — and 
" triangle best." 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : As I understand I think we have it. 
already from his evidence that some of them are stamped with 
a triangle and the word " best," and others are stamped merelj 
with a triangle. 
Mr. Seymour : Yes, and in the case of others they are marked 
with a Diamond, and a K in the middle. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : I think the Diamond K, if I under- 
stand Mr. Ayre right, has got a word attached to it? 
The Witness : " Pure." 
Mr. Seymour : Are the triangle and triangle best degrees of 
what you call ordinary mixed cake ? — A. Mixed.
