fltpose of having it sold as linseed, so that the farmers and people 
i ho buy " Triangle Best " linseed are to be deluded into the belief 
lat they are buying linseed-cake or the honest product of linseed 
hen the oil has been pressed out, and are, instead of that, only 
Living 50 per cent, of it — why I think that is exceedingly wrong 
id so I should think would you. Then further, we find that 
lese screenings are put aside and used in this way. In making 
le " Ordinary " linseed-cake, which does not come into this action 
crept indirectly, if the linseed happens to be fine linseed, the 
laintiff thinks it necessary, — not merely fair, not to give them the 
mple honest product of the linseed when the oil has been ex- 
essed — but he thinks it necessary for every 30 parts of the linseed 
hich comes down to add 70 per cent, altogether, partly of ground 
irth-nut cakes which is an inferior thing to this sesame as it 
ould seem, and partly of bran as to which I forget the exact 
oportion. But a more curious and more important part of it is 
at if his linseed is good linseed, he thinks this inferior cake 
ould not look genuine — I do not know what he thinks — it 
rikes one rather that he did it in order that people might 
)t suspect — if it was clean linseed they might think it 
irious — but at all events for some reason or other, he thinks 
necessary to adulterate his linseed by putting in the screenings 
hich he took out of the other, and this makes the third class, 
e thinks it absolutely necessary to put in the screenings 
:ain and make that linseed dirty before he makes his cake 
am it. In that case the oil seems to be a subsidiary matter 
together, for there is only one-fourth of the linseed which 
ves the oil, because it would be an adulterated linseed 
putting the screenings into it ; and the other three parts 
e made up of earth-nut cake and bran, which are not oil-giving 
ings. But again, as I said before, if he does that and lets people 
low what he does there is no harm. It is a trade a man has a 
s^ht to carry on. But if he does it for the purpose and intent 
at they should be passed off on ignorant farmers as linseed, then 
is a trade which would be a very wrong one indeed. Now, 
ion that part of the matter, there are two things which I think 
■ar upon it, when you are looking at the evidence that has been 
ven and the assertion on the part of the Defendant that this 
ust have been very dirty and inferior linseed and had these 
• eepings from the warehouses in it that are spoken of. Is that 
le or not? On that the suggestion, and the only one I rather 
ink, is this : there has been evidence given that there could not 
these things in it, because in making their " Triangle Best " 
ey always took care to have good linseed and also linseed twice 
ireened and they never put the sweepings and screenings into 
at. The witnesses have been all here and they have been able
