Mr. Justice Blackburn : How can that bear on the libel we are trying ? 
Mr. Seymour : It bears upon his knowledge. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : Tliat does not make it evidence in the sligh 
degree. This is an action against the lloyal Agricultm-al Society. Mr. W 
has been cross-examined at some length, and you cannot ask afterwards 
third person what was said. 
Mr. Cave : I want to prove what it was that was understood by Mr. A 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : You had Mr. Wells in the box, and you mi 
have asked him about it. I must reject the evidence ; it is a point t 
cannot bear upon the question at all. If it was supposed to be material, ^ 
did not ask Mr. Wells when he was in the box, but he may be recalled

Mr. Cave : Will you tell us to whom these cakes were sent ? Look 
•this order (handing paper to Witness). 
The Witness : May I get the order book ? 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : I suppose it will do, because we have 
Stevenson, who has produced the things which he had sent. 
Mr. Field : What are they ? 
Mr. Cave : They are orders. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : Are they the orders to Stevenson which are 
to have been made material afterwards ? 
The Witness : I will tell your Lordship directly. Order No. 2777 
Messrs. Glover, of Warwick. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : It may be that there are things which make 
material, therefore I will write it down, but at present it is no evidence 
itself. If you are going to call Mr. Glover to state that he received th 
that is another thing. 
Mr. Cave : We are purposing to call these gentlemen. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : Directly Mr. Glover is called, and says he 
receive these things, I do not supjiose that there will be any objection 
admitting that a certain quantity got into Mr. Glover's hands ?

as to the rejection of the Witness's evidence of his second conversation wi 
Mr. Wells, but which his Lordship still declined to admit.]

you had with Mr. Wells before the cake was delivered. Had you any o"" 
interview with Mr. Wells? — A. I cannot speak positively; I do not rccolleo

Mr. J ustice Blackburn : If you are going to call the people who used 
of this cake, we need not go into them individually, 
Mr. Cave : I was going to ask the names. 
Mr. Field : I will not give you the trouble, but you can recall the gen 
men, if necessary. Give the names, and tlicy can com(? and ])rovc
