COPY OF REPORT. 
The Committee of Inspection beg leave to report that a 
specimen of blue mass was handed to them by Mr. Aspin- 
wall, imported by Cumming, Main & Co., as is said, from 
Mr. William Bailey, of Wolverhampton, England, and 
supposed to contain 25 per cent, of mercury. Mr. Aspin- 
wali sent a sample to Professor Reid for examination, who 
reports it to contain 1 per cent, of mercury, besides a con- 
siderable quantity of weighty earthy matter, probably add- 
ed with a view of increasing its specific gravity. On ap- 
plication to the Professor, he handed to the Chairman a 
sketch of his method of analysis, herewith enclosed, and 
he also offered to repeat it before the Board. 
All of which is respectfully submitted. 
C. Adamson, Chairman. 
By order, 
John Meakim, Secretary.
