that is why we are here. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : Are not you now asking the witness a question 
which we shall soon have to ask the Jury ? 
Mr. Field : I ask him this : When you were so anxious to let everybody 
know, why did not you on your circular put the character and position of the 
cake; would not that be the better way than telling it in conversation — so 
that the world should know it ? — A. We have sold these cakes for four years. 
Q. Why did not you put it on the circular ? — A. We cannot put everything 
on the circular. 
Q. It would not be very long to say " Fifty per cent, sesame and bran " ? — 
A. A baker would not put the number of cuiTants he jiuts into a cake. 
Q. Well, we may have some complaints to make against bakers — very often 
we do — but I ask, why did not you put this in your circular? — A. Because it 
is not necessary ; it is well known throughout the trade.

farmers in our connection at all. 
Q. Have you dealt with him as a dealer ? — A. Yes, we have ; we have sold 
him Diamond P., the lowest quality that we sell. 
Q. Have you your ledger showing your dealings with him.?

sound one, that unless you show the contracts (and they are not here), you 
cannot refer to the ledger.

Q. Looking at the price and description of this cake, is there anybody in 
the trade who would not understand it to be mixed cake.? — A. Nobody;
