iny accident ? — A. No, because the linseed that is taken to 
nake the cakes below, is taken from the pile when we want 
t by the machinery ; it is drawn into the hoppers, and comes 
lown without anybody touching it after it has left the pile. It 
ippears in the lower floor after it has g-one up and through the 
screen and down to the bottom, and if anything was put to it, it 
\ ()uld liave to be put at the stones. 
Q. Wilfully '^—A. Wilfully ; in the presence of twenty or 
liirty men. 
Q. You have mentioned two men that you say are not here, 
although Mr. Smales is here, and Stevenson the foreman ? — A. 
Ves. 
Q. With reference to the other two men, did they do anything 
more than obey mechanically the orders that were given them '{ 
-A. No. 
U Q. I want you to explain. I do not want to have any point 
•made hereafter which is not cleared up now. You said you got 
some seed by the vessel ' D. jNI. Parke ' ? — A. The invoices were 
put in. 
Q. I wanted to know that ; that is the 395 quarters that my 
Lord asked you, I think, a question about? 
Air. Justice Blackburn : Yes, I understand it now ; at first I

Black Sea. 
Mr. Seymour : When did that arrive at your mills ? — A. On 
the 30th January. 
Q. Was that used in any portion ? — A. I put in the invoice 
for fear I should be unable to swear that it was entirely ' Varina.' 
I think it went to make pure. 
Q. Your impression is, it was not in ; but you produce the 
f invoice for fear ? — A. For fear I should be charged with leaving 
it out. 
Q. But now supposing it in, what sort of quality is it ? — A. 
It is better than the ' Varina's.' 
Q. A higher price? — A. I think so ; but not only that, but the 
allowance was 4-04, and the standard being 4, it was the cleanest 
I had ever known. 
Q. It was within -04 of the very purest ? — A. Yes. 
1 Q. I will ask you one question which does not strictly arise ; 
I it is only to identify a parcel upon which I cross-examined 
Professor Voelcker yesterday. I asked him whether he had 
analysed a sample sent to him by Mr. Knowles. 
Mr. Justice BlaCKBURN : I think he produced the analysis. 
[ Mr. Seymour : The linseed and cake. It is merely for tlie
