Mr. Hart. “What did you do with the flour and pork?
C. Carter. I made it into four dumplings, two with pork, and two without, and tied the two largest, with pork in them, up in bags.
---- With what did you mix the flour?
---- With milk.
---- When you were making these dumplings, did you observe any thing?
---- They made different to any thing which I had ever made before.
---- Explain that difference?
---- They broke and crumbled all into little bits. I had to knock them in a stant like when we make butter. They would not hold together.
---- Had you more or less difficulty than usual?
---- More trouble than I ever had before.”
Extract from the trial.
