SALISBURY.—Cm Prrry SZKSIONS, Monday.—Be-
fore the Mayor (J. Style), J. Hussey, and J. C. Wheeler,
Elbert Coombe, • baker, residing in Culver-street,
was summoned for having, on the 18th of September,
sold to a man named George Mussell, a loaf, purporting
to be • 41b loaf, without weighing the same, such loaf
not coming within the denomination of "French or
fancy bread or rolls.”—Muisell stated that he went into
the shop on the occasion in question, and asked for a
41b. loaf A loaf was given him, for which he paid Cd.
The inspector of weights and measures, Mr. Charles
Crouch, subsequently weighed it, and found to be light.
It was not weighed in the defendant's shop.—Mr.
Crouch stated that the loaf was an ounce and • half
short of 4111..—The defendant pleaded ignorance of the
law, and said he had only recently commenced the
business. He had, however, instructed his man to put
sufficient dough to make up for evaporation. The loaf
was two or three days old, and his scales and weights
might be wrong. He wished to know to whom
he was to apply.—The Bench informed him that
Mr. Crouch was the proper person with whom he
should communicate. Mr. Hussey remarked
that the law of the case ought to be well known
in the city, inasmuch as there were two or three
convictions in that very Court a little more than a
year ago. Only Is. was then inflicted, in the hope that
those cases would act as a warning to others.—The
Bench lined the defendant ba, and wets, and said in
case of a second conviction the full penalty would be
enforced.

Jal;;;Wlitehorn, baker, of Windsor-road, was sum-
moned for a similar offinme.—George Mussel said he
asked fore 4lb loaf, and was supplied with one by Mrs
Whitehorn. She asked him what loaf he would have,
and he replied an upright one if she had such an one in
the shop, and he assisted her in seperating two loaves
—The defendant's wife said Yuma parted the loaves
himself, and he lift the shop ai hurriedly that she had
not time to weigh the loaf, and being goliPithaas that
something wee wrong, she was indicted to examine the

lid. he gave her to Dee if it were not counterfeit.—Mr.
Hussey Yon should have said "Stop • bit, and I will
weigh it."—Mn. Whitehorn said she had not time to
speak. —ln answer to the Mayor the defendant's wife
said she was in the habit of weighing the bread, and
the neighbours knew it —Mr. Crouch said the loaf in
question was 34 ounces short —The Mager said the
deficiency was very considerable, but even if it had been
slight, it would have been no defence, as parties were
bound to weigh their bread before letting it go out of
the shop. The magietratee were bound to convict, but
under the circumstances they would mitigate the fine
to is,, and expenses.
Sarah Amelia Turtle, of Gigant-street, we. summoned
for ailing • loaf purporting to be 411 m. weight, • quarter
of a pound short —The defendant said she asked Muuell
whether he would have • crusty or a crummy loaf, and
be pointed to one in the window, and said one of them
would suit him. If he had asked her to weigh the loaf
she would have done so. He took one from the shelf.
and she was absorbed so much in her books, that she
was " quite obliterated." She weighed some of the
loaves the next morning, and found that they were only
three ounces short She had never been charged with
any such offence before, and she always cautioned her
man to give just weight when weighing out the dough.
—Mr. Hussey remarked dist that might be correct, but
the object of the law was to protect purchasers. They
ought to weigh the bread before it in delivered--The
defendant and Musson went of so quick that he did not
give her the opportunity to weigh it. She was going to
call him back, but she thought she would not
do it—in answer to Mr. Harney. Mr. Lee, the
magistrates' clerk, stated that the defendant had
been once before brought before the Bench for
refusing to weigh bread supplied to a charity,
but the case was then dismissed—the defendant replied
that she had not then the weights in the shop and the
person who came was such • character, that she could
not leave her there alone—The Bench fined the defen-
dant 61., and the expenses. Mr. Crouch stated, in
answer to • question, that about • twelvemonth no he
gave all the bakers in the city (with the exception of
Mr Coombs, who was not then in business, notice to
sell their bread by weight. —The Mayor remarked that
the Inspector was net bound to rive any each notice.
George Stretch, tither, of Crane-street, was also
summoned. The deficiency in this ewe was a quarter
of an ounce, and the defen lent stated that he afterwards
weighed the whole of the loaves in his shop, and he
found them full weight —The Mayor said unfortunately
the loaf in question was sold without being weixbed.
The magiatrates were bound to convict, but taking all
the circumstances into consideration they would only
San has. la and cclva.... Thee law was Lateaded to
protect honest tradesmen as well a• the general public.
STEALING WEARING A Ellen Knowles was
charged with stealing • pair of shoes, • child's jacket,
two pillows, and various other articles, the propirty of
Mr. James Norton, shoemaker, of Catherine-street
The prisoner and her husband lodged in the
prosecutor's house, and occupied • back-room,
—Mrs. Norton, haying suspicion that all was
not right broke open the door in the prisoner's absence,
and found the bed completely stripped. Information
was given to the olive, and Sergeant MeGough appre-
hended the primmer. She then admitted having taken
the articles, which she had pledged, a sheet at Mr.
Preoey's, and the other property at Mr. Sewell's, and
asked for forgiveness. She said she would redeem the
things, and return them The prisoner pleaded guilty,
but asked the magistrates to deal leniently with her, as
her husband had been drinking hard for two or three
weeks, and she had been left in great distress. Her in-
tention was to have redeemed the articles as soon as
she had received money from her husband. She was
in hopes of his becoming a teetotaller. She said if she
was sent to prison it would be the death of her.—
Superintendent Caldow, in answer to the Bench, said
the prisoner's husband was • very dissolute character.
Ile had been locked up twice for drunkenness, once as
late as Saturday night last—The Mayor said the
husband was greatly to blame for leaving his wife dis-
titute, but the Bench could not overlook the case, and
the prisoner must be imprisoned for six weeks with hard
labour.

Catherine-street, were broken open, and a side of bacon
and a leg of pork carried away. From the manner in
which entranee to the borne was effected, it is clear that

open no lees than four times within the past

of a tenement at Woodford. The summons was taken
out some time ago when his Honor ruled that the
defendant ought to have bad a week's notice, conse-
quently the plaintiff waa non-suited. Mr. Kirby had,
however, since given the notice, and issued • fresh
phout._yr. Kirby, sworn, said he WSJ a farmer, living
at Woodford. He hired the defendant u a labourer,
and the agreement was that he should receive 9a. &-
week, and • house to live in. lie dismissed him on the
3rd of April, and he had been out of his service since
that time. lie had been working for another muter,
but he still held possession of the cottage. lie hired
I him by the week, although he settled with him every
fortnight. When he hired by the year he entered a
• memorandum in his book, but he did not do no in this
iesanstattiocbe
objection When hehe required him to give up the dismissed him he did not make in,.
I cottage about two mouths ago.—The defendant naked
what wages he was to receive in the second half of the
, year. and the plaintiff replied 12s. in the summer.—Hia
Honor : Here is an end to the weekly hiring. The P. 7
to be increased to 12.. in the rummer. Do you wall
I that a weekly hirine. —The plaintiff said be was to
I receive 9a. in the winter, and lathe summer 12. a-week ;
I but if he had have continued until Miolutcliou
next a fresh agreement would have been entered
into.—His Honor said the whole contemplation
between the parties wu that it ahould be • yearly
hiring. The wages should be increased in the summer,
and when Michaelmas arrived a fresh agreement should
be entered into', be wished to know if that was • weekly
hiring ?—Mr. Hill said if it was not • weekly hiring the
wages were still due to the defendant.—Hi, Honor said
the real question was whether the contract was put an end
to when the defendant left the plaintiff's service—Mr.
Kirby further stated that he told the plaintiff that he I
had heard be had been making an application
for another situation, and that if he was dissatis-
fied he had better go at once. Defendant did not ,
make any reply, but left his service the same day. I
He made no objection to him.—The defendant said
the plaintiff came to him, and told him be •Itoold
not want him any longer. He had been looking
out for • house, but had not succeeded in procuring one.
He told him to pack up his things at the stables, and to
go where he could. He did not give up the oottage.

He had been in the cottage ever since, and Mr. Kirby
put him in the Court Cr the rent, but could not get it.
—Mr. Kirby said he did not summon him for the rent,
Lot is order to get pooteimion.—His Honor said there
seemed to have been an end to the contract by mutual
agreement. The defendant admitted having had •
week's notice to leave, and the question was whether it
would not revert into a weekly tenancy after the
dismissal. He thought such was the case, and he should
order the premises to be given up in • week.--The
defendant said he could not get any house until Michael-
mas-day, and His Honor ordered the defendant to give
up possession on that day,

MACLOUD BRUM:I.—This was an action to recover

He had paid:loa of the claim. In answer to hie Honor,
the defendant, who is a porter on the South- Westert;
Railway, said he did not know where his father was
now residing, u he had not communicated with him
reemitly —His Honor inquired of Mr. Miller what
authority he had to show that he could claim the debts
belonging to the plaintiff. Mr. Miller said he could do
so at the next Court-day. The defendant had written
him • letter admitting the debt, which he left with
Mr Wilson, the registrar on the last Court day,
but it had been lost. The defendant could not deny
having done so.—His Honor said it was most unwise
of him not to have kept that letter, which was • most
important piece of information. But in the first place
he must show that he had • right to the plaintiff's
debts. Had be a power of attorney.—Mr. Miller said
he had, but it was of Southampton.— His Honor: Then
why did you not bring it.--Mr. Miller: I never thought
It was required—His Honorsaid he had constantly told
persons in that Court that they could not recover
another person's debt without a power of attorney.
Mr. Miller said he purehued the business of Mr.
Macloud, by auction, and he thought the debts
followed the purclums.—llia Honor said he must
produce evidence in the shape of a power of attorney.
He could have the eau adjourned, but if so he most pay
the defendant's expenses of the day.—Mr. Miller said he
would do so.—His Honor wished him to consider what
he was doing. The debt was only 12a. 3d., and by
adjourning it he might incur ft expenses.—His Honor:
Mr. Miller said he preferred to have the cue adjourned.
—His Honor And so you shall; but before I adjourn
It I will see that you pay the expenses.—Defendant, in
answer to his Honor, said that be had come from London
that morning. Being • travelling porter he had sorked
a train down that morning. so that he had not had to
pay anything, but it would cut him 12s. 6.1. —seeped-
class fare—to return.-3, 6.1. was allowed for the day's

could find fault was that some of the arms were not
quite so clean as they might, and ought to have been.
