Boiled Black Beans

Place the beans in a basin of water and soak for three hours. Then place in a saucepan of water and boil for three hours; take out, drain and place in another saucepan with a few small pieces of bacon a little chutney, mushroom catsup, anchovy sauce and gravy, and cook well for half an hour. Turn out onto a dish, and serve with a garnish of boiled rice.
