of that was, it was a paring that had not been ground to powder ; 
it was simply the same as the cake itself — identically the same, 
nothing else. 
Q. I only asked you that in passing. Now we have got the 
cake pared. Let us just finish the thing. Are they made, then ? — 
A. They are made and put into rac ks, because being hot they are 
not firm, and left to cool. Those racks hold two tons each, and 
there are six of them. When the racks are full, the boys, as they 
have leisure, or as the room is required for the fresh cake that is 
being made, bring a barrow, and put so many of the cakes out ol 
the rack on to the barrow, and take it into the cake-house, weigh 
it, and pile it. 
Q. And is it piled there in tiers ready for delivery ? — A 
Exactly ; we begin with a big tier, and continue raising the cak( 
with a series of steps. The cake is put indiscriminately there 
I have two mills divided by the engine, and there are so mam 
cakes on one side of the engine, and so many cakes on the othei 
The cakes go from each mill indiscriminately, if we are makin; 
" Triangle Best," and are placed on that pile. 
Now, with all these mixings, and changes, and counter-changes 
is it possible, in your opinion, for any poisonous element to b 
in one portion of the cake, and not to impregnate the whole ?- 
A. Impossible ; if this had been poisonous, 1 should have fed m 
own cattle on a poisonous cake, because my cattle are fed on th 
" Triangle Best ", which comes indiscriminately from the pile c 
which I have spoken. 
Q. From which the rest is taken? — A. Yes. 
Q. How many thousands of these cakes a day do you make?- 
A. I think I am within bounds when I say 5000. 
Q. That puts me in mind of a theory we heard yesterday froi 
Professor Fairley. Have you ever made cake for the purpo! 
of making it as cake, and not for the purpose of expressin 
oil from it in the legitimate course of your trade? — ^ 
Never. In this book are entries for the last five years oft! 
cake and oil made by every man in my employ, showing that tl 
cake passes through the process which I have now describei 
and the cjuantity of oil expressed from it. 
Q. Is there a pretence for that suggestion ? — A. it is perfect 
contemptible. 
Q. You say you have got a book there, showing all the cal 
made by every man. Have you the means of tracing each caJ 
made in your establishment to the man who made it? — A. F 
fifteen years I have had but one holiday of a week's length. 
Q. Mr. Justice Bj^ACKBUliN : That is not answering t 
question ? — A. Every morning and every afternoon I am at t 
mill, and go in of course to see what is doing. I go ijitothecal
