Mr. Field : The sweeper is kept there ? 
Mr, Justice Blackburn : No, the compound is kept there, as 
[ understand it. 
The Witness : At the expiration of that time a shuttle is 
jpened in what we call " the calf," — that is, an iron which 
surrounds the stones, and keeps the seeds from falling, and from 
■here it is put into the steam- kettle. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : But what happens from that shuttle? 
I guess ; but you have not told us what happens when you have 
)pened the shuttle? — A. The seed is swept by this sweeper 
ound on to this hole, and it drops on the ground, my Lord. From 
hence it is put into the kettles, which are surrounded by steam, 
rhey are double kettles — steam-kettles. 
Mr. Seymour : There is an upper and lower chamber ? — A. 
There is an upper and lower chamber in each, and there are 
evolving arms to keep the seed continually moving. After 
emaining there, shuttles are opened, and bags are placed at the 
nouths of the openings to receive the seed — woollen bags. 
These bags are placed within wrappers, and put into the hydraulic 
)resses, and subjected to a pressure of about 180 tons on each 
)ress. In consequence of that pressure the oil is forced through 
he sesame and the bran, and runs out into a small cistern behind 
ach press. This oil is then pumped into large cisterns, and 
tored for use. After remaining in these presses twelve or fifteen 
ninutes, the pressure is removed, the wrappers withdrawn, and 
he cake is taken out. Boys take these pressed bags, strip off 
he bags, and the cake lies on a table ready for packing. These 
loys have knives in the shape of a half moon, and taking the 
ake in their hand, they pare first one side and then the other, 
nd then the two ends. This is simply to prevent waste. 
Q. And to give the cake a trim shape ? — A. Yes, but the 
dges are so narrow that we should lose some of them.. It is cut 
bus and thus (explaining), and so you see there are thick level 
dges, otherwise they would be all crumbling. 
Q. What is done with the parings ? — A. They are put back 
nder the stones to be ground to powder ; but those stones being 
dged stones do not always grind them to powder, but we put 
•lem in, being cake themselves. 
Q. Are there sometimes small portions left in the cake? — A. 
es ; if you will hand me a cake I will tell you if I see them, 
|A cake was handed to the witness.) Yes, I think there is one 
acre ; it is very slight. It is darker, and in a round patch, 
fhose are the lumps from the parings. 
Q. I was going to ask you this : we heard yesterday of some- 
ling in a cake that had been analysed which looked like small 
abetances -that were agglutinated ? — A. Yes ; the whole secret
