Kidd V. Royal Agricultural Society of England. 631 
Q. You read the trade circular that has been put in ? — A. I do not know 
that I did. I have said before that I would not swear that even I got that 
circular ; but very likely, if they say they sent it, they would do so. 
Q. You knew there was a distinction drawn on the paper between "Triangle 
Best"?— 
Mr. Fiet.d: The paper will speak for itself. 
Mr. Justice Blackburx: Give one of them to Mr. Wells. 
Mr. SetM' un : Have you not been in the habit of receiving that circular 
f(handing a circular to the Witness)? — A. Yes, they sent me one every week. 
Q. There you have pure cake, 11?. 5s. ; genuine cake at, I forget what 
^price ; and you have " Ordinary cake," and above it " A Best " at 101. ? — 
A. Those are not the exact figures. 
Mr. Field: It speaks for itself. 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : Undoubtedly, but Mr. Seymour is putting it to 
the witness to point some question upon it. He is not quite accurate in the 
figures, but there is the document, and the Jury have a copy of it before thpm 
I dare say. 
A JuKOR : We have, my Lord. 
Mr. Seymour: I ask you, seeing that " A Best" did you not know by 
that circular that " A Best Linseed-cake " was a cake of an inferior price to 
the genuine and to the pure? — A. No, not to the genuine, because at the time 
II bought it it was a little above it. 
Q. Did yon not know that it was neither genuine nor pure ? — A. No, I 
expected it was a genuine cake. 
Q. Although it is distingui-shed there in a different column? 
Mr. Justice Blackburn : That the Jury will judge of for themselves. I 
should say it was not. 
Mr. Seymoitr : I should say it was. 
Mr. Justice Blackburx : I should consider the circular quite differently. 
However, at present, you are asking Mr. Wells the question. 
Mr. Seymour : Quite so, I am asking Mr. Wells on tliis circular. 
I Mr. Justice Black kurn : I do not know which circular you have got. 
I 'J'he Witness : This is April 19th. 
Mr. Seymour : I mean the one you gave the order from ? — A. I did not give 
my order from a circular : my order was given from a letter that was sent 
to me. 
Q. At that time what was the price of the " Triangle Best" as compared 
with the pure ? — A. I should think about 25s. difference according to the 
Hull makers, more according to the DrifSeld makers. 
Q. Did not it occur to you that if it was sold at 25s. cheaper it was 
probably a mixed cake and not a ])ure cake ? — A. No, because I have alway.s 
'said, and I have told Messrs. Ayre, that sometimes 1 have paid too much for 
the word " pure." 
Q. Was there no allusion made to the word chaff when you were talking . 
to Messrs. Ayre ? — A. No. 
Q. Bran 1 mean ? — A. Yes, I heard something about bran. 
Q. What did you hear about bran ? — A. That bran was sometimes put 
into cakes, and my reply was that bran at 101. per ton was robbery upon the 
fanner. 
Q. But were you told at the time that bran was sometimes put in cakes ? 
— A. We had a conveisation about cakes, and bran \\as mentioned as being 
sometimes put into cakes, and my answer was — " Well, if it is bran, I should 
not like to pay for it at 101. per ton," and that it was a robbery on the 
farmers. ' ' ' 
Q. Did not it occur to you that there might be bran in this cake? — A. No, 
I did not expect it.
