13 . Mr. F. S. Stanley, of Montague Street, Borough, London,

purchased without any guarantee. 
In forwarding the sample Mr. Stanley wrote : — 
January 31, 1893. 
Dear Sir, — Please analyse the cake, and let me know as soon as possible. 
From what I can see, there is a lot of sand in it. I have had a sheep die 
suddenly, and found a lot of sand in the fourth stomach.— Yours truly, 
F. S. Stanley.

A bad cake, having a bitter taste owing to the presence of much rape- 
seed, besides which occur cockle-seed, spurrey, mustard and numerous other 
weed-seeds. Lastly, it has close on 4 per cent, of sand, which is highly 
objectionable. 
This case was settled by the vendors replacing the purchase by 
“ 95 per cent, guaranteed” cake, this being charged at the reduced 
price of 71. 5s. per ton only, delivered.
