Mr, Field : Have you got, then, some of the sesame-cake at 
home ? — A, Yes, 
Q. And that you have not brought ? — A. I have not brought 
that, because I do not put it under the stones ; I put the meal 
under the stones. We can have plenty of it, if necessary. 
Q. I will now ask you about the cake which you have 
produced to-day, the " Triangle Best." Look at these two 
specimens of cake (handing the same to the Witness). Are 
they specimens of the same cake ? — A. This (pointing) has 
been wet. 
Q. Look at the texture, and tell me whether the texture of the 
cake is the same as the one you produce now ? — A. This (point- 
ing) is being made now. 
Q. When was the cake you now produce made ? — A. Within 
the last week. 
Q. Oh ! — A. The cake sent to Mr. Wells is three-quarters 
Calcutta and one-quarter Black Sea. This (pointing) is three- 
quarters St. Petersburg and one-quarter Calcutta. 
Q. Then that is no representation of the cake you sent to Mr. 
Wells ? — A. No ; this is only what we are sending out now. 
Q. I only want to get the facts. 
Mr. Seymouk : To show the brand ? — -A. Yes, it was produced 
to show the brand. Mr. Field asked for it. 
Mr. Field : I understand you grind up the sesame-cake Jis 
you buy itV — A. I stow it away, and use it as I want it. 
Q, Is that at all screened in any way ? — A. I told you it went 
up by elevators. It is screened to get all the sticks and anything 
of that sort out of it. 
Q. What becomes of these screenings? — They are thrown 
away. 
Re-examined hy Mr. Seymour, 
Q. I have very little to ask you, but, if I understand you 
rightly, the dodder and other foreign weeds or substances that 
have been taken from pure linseed, you mix with pure linseed, 
in making the commonest and lowest type of cake, where you 
are obliged to use linseed for that purpose?—^. Yes, dodder- 
seed being a good feeding article. 
Q. Quite so. Do you, in making your " Triangle Best," take 
precautions and care to prevent any of these screenings being 
mixed with it ? — A. Emphatically — all the care possible. 
Q. Just tell me what you do when you sjjeak of taking all the 
care possible — is the floor swept and prepared ? — A. It does not 
go on to the floor ; the screenings are delivered into bags, and 
the bags are tied. 
Q. Then unless they arc untied they will not get mixed from
