Off For that malt-house, then, you got
il from various pools--puddles OF water
Yes Were they not puddles? think |
some one or two places where we got wa |
ter were clean, but they were SO far off We
got little water there.
Plaintiffs counseL-Where were the
clean places2 One was near the two
mile house on the Schenectady turnpike
the other on the route of the Western
turnpike--a ravine running above the
route Of the rail road.

house on State-street, or to that on Wash
iugton turnpike2 think only to one
Have you noticed the water in Poor-house
creek previous to 1885? Yes. In what
condition was it l have seen it very
full. Seen it discolored2 The stream is
very small sometimes, and in places where

Poor house creek look green from being
stsgnant? In places | have. Did you
draw any water from this creek for the
plaintiffs malt-house on State treet2-

very thick. Describe the indications,
= any, of filth j? After the water is let of
and it has drained some time, the ma
slers throw it out with scoops, and as the
approach the bottom, it is frequently di
colored--in other Warehouses more tina
in this-the barley and sediment settlin
together, and the mass being cleaner {
you get up to the top. Was that dee
sediment Don't know how deep
some Warehouses; it is very deep. Ho
deep was it there? Can't say-two
three Understandings more sedme
than others, depending on the cleanness
the water from rains or other causes
