558 Kidd v. Royal Agricultural Society of England. 
tbat the buyers and crushers should have some standard by which 
they could receive or reject, 
Q. What quantity have you made within the last four years of 
this "Triangle Best"?— ^. More than 10,000 tons. 
Q. And how much from these particular cargoes ? — A. From 
the actual particular cargoes, these parcels of seed to which I am 
positively able to swear, between 275 and 280 tons. That I can 
positively affirm. 
Q. The others, I understood you to say, were similar in 
quality ? — A. Precisely. My engagement was to make them in 
that particular way, and I have never swerved from it. 
Q. Of those 10,000 tons, including the number of tons made 
from this very article, have you ever had any complaint until 
you heard of the complaint made in this libel ? — A. Not one. 
Q. Now, would you just tell me shortly, if you please, the 
process by which you make your linseed cake ? — A. My Lord 
and the gentlemen of the jury will pardon me if I am rather 
tedious in answering that question ; but I must do it properly. 
The articles are in the mill 
Mr. Justice Blackbuen : Which articles ? — A. I will begin 
with the linseed. It is taken from the chambers, where it is 
passed over a screen for the " Triangle Best " cake, and run into 
hoppers, which are placed over our machinery; from the hopper 
the seed falls between rollers — heavy metal rollers, for the 
express purpose of breaking every grain of linseed, without which 
we cannot express the oil. No whole linseed goes into cake 
wittingly. 
Q. Let us get one thing at a time. You pass it through rollers 
to express the oil ? — A. Yes ; no linseed is allowed to pass 
unbroken. 
Q. One thing at a time, please. We are a long way from the 
cake yet. What else is done? I suppose the oil is taken away? — 
A. I have not got to the oil yet; there are two or three more 
processes. The linseed is broken by being passed through the 
rollers, and is then placed under the stones — " edge-stones " is 
the proper term. The two together weigh about ten tons. 
Mr. Seymour : And you have several pairs, I suppose ? — A. 
Three large pairs. The fifty per cent, of linseed is put under 
the stones ; to this is added the sesame in the form of meal and 
the bran. 
Mr. Justice BLACKBURN: They are put together under the 
stones, are they ? — A. They are, my Lord. Those stones have 
an iron sweeper, which travels with the stones, and is so placed 
that it delivers all the linseed and sesame and the bran under the 
stones. It is kept there from twelve to eighteen minutes, the 
stones continually revolving.
