Mr. Justice Blackburn : Hand in the one invoice which j-ou say was no' 
" pure," and then we will see wliat is the diHerence? — A. There were two. I 
Mr. Seymour: Two not pure? — A. Two not pure. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : Let me look at them ; the Jury shall look at their 
afterwards (the invoices were lianded to the Court). These are not called pure 
or anything else. They are " Diamond P " Linseed-cakes " — that is the onlj 
description, whatever brand that may be. There are two of them which seen: 
to be the same, except that they are sent to two difierent farms. Mr. Field 
had better see them before they are handed to the Jury : he may have som 
remark to make, or some question to ask upon them. 
Mr. Seymour : What soi't of cake was that " Diamond P " ? — A. A good 
cake. It did very well for my animals. I know nothing more about it-than 
that. 
Q. It was good cake ? — A. Yes. That is in 1868 ; they vary according to 
the year. 
Q. You knew that " Diamond P cake " was not a pure cake. — A. Well, I 
suppose it was not pure by their not putting pure on it. I should say it w 
not a pure cake, not what is called pure. It is genuine cake, I should say. 
Q. Quite so, but not pure ? — A. Not pure. 
Q. Now, I think you know the distinction between "ordinary," "genuine," 
and "pure" cake? — A. Well, I never buy anything under the head of 
ordinary. 
Q. No, but have you not been aware there were cakes known in the market- 
as ordinary, as genuine, and as pure ? — A. I should think so. 
Q. Differing in prices ? — A. Differing in prices. 
Q. And. were nut you aware that the pure cake was described pure because 
it was warranted as containing linseed only ? — A. Yes, that is so. 
Q. And genuine linseed is linseed without being sifted as the pure is?— 
A. Exactly so. 
Q. And the ordinary is more or less mixed.? — A. The ordinary I know 
nothing about. I have, however, bought what I call linseed-cake which I 
considered to be not screened. But that which was screened was pure. 
Q. But you knew that the ordinary cake was a cake which was neithe 
genuine nor pure? — A. I have never bought the cake. 
Q. But you knew there was such a cake ? — A. I have seen it advertised in 
the circulars. 
Q. But did not j^ou know it was a mixed cake, and neither genuine nor 
pure? — A. I did not know what, the component parts of it were. ZZZl. 
Q. But you knew that it was supposed to have component parts — you are a 
gentleman of some experimce in these matters, and residing in the Enst 
Hiding. I ask you this question, — Did you not know that, as distinguished 
from genuine and pure cake, ordinary cake was composed of certain com- 
ponent parts? — A. 1 knew there was such a cake; I never knew what the 
cake was made of, and I should not buy it. » 
Q. But the distinction from genuine and pure you knew — do you mean to 
tell me you did not know it was a mixed cake? — A. 1 cannot tell what it 
would be. 
Q. What should you think? — A. I sliould think it was an adulterated 
cake, or one with bad seeds in it — an inferior cake. 
Q. I will take your expression, an adulterated cake? — A. An adulterated 
or an inferior cake. 
Q. You were in the habit of receiving circulars ? — A. Yes. 
Q. And you read the circulars that you received Irom Mr. Ayre ? — A. In 
which case ?
