The cake marked A was the * * * Linseed-cake, and that 
marked B was the t t Linseed-cake. Subsequently, invoices 
describing the cakes as such were sent. 
In order that there should be no mistake, Mr. Fowler took two 
more samples from the same deliveries and sent them for analysis. 
The results of these further analyses are appended, and it will be 
noticed that they do not differ materially from the ones made in the 
first instance.

The cake A was, as before, * * * cake, and the portion sent 
for analysis bore part of the brand on it. The cake .B was t t cake. 
The vendor, on being asked to give the names of the makers of 
the cakes, or to state the guarantee upon which they had been 
purchased by him, and on the strength of which he had sold them to 
Mr. Fowler as “pure,” declined to give the information, but pressed 
for payment of the account, together with interest.

September 17, a sample of Linseed-cake for analysis, on which
