WESTMINSTER SESSIONS,
THURSDAY, APRIL 15.

COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.
This wits ell appeal of certain salesmen in Co-
vent-garden Market, from the decis 00000 of the Jury
of that parish. It appears that the Jur), in the
course of their Inquiries, had discovered that the
baskets made use of by the salesmen in the ad-
measurement of fruit, &c. although they purported
tw hold a bushel, in point of fact held sin more
than about three pecks noel a half, and many of
them not so numb as three pecks. The Jwry, in
cousequence„ smerced those salesmen in the sum
which the special Act !morale. shall he forfeited.
Mr. ADO 1.1. 11 UM, on the prod of the salesmen, was
heard sit some length. It was urged in their behalf,
that the brskets employed by them were chiefly
those which wen• used by the growers of the fruits
in the measurement of the articles to themselves.
On the other hand, it was asserted, that though
many such baskets were brought up to town, still
they were not made use of, but that others and
much smaller ones were substituted in their stead.
The matter How rests in the hands of this Court.
The Chairman his declared his resolution forthwith
to require th,it each salesman in the ma►ket shall
be p►ovidevd with a vessel which shall contain ea-
wily the quantity of the water-measure, soul that it
shall be competent liar every purchaser to demsnd
the measurement of the articles he buys by the ves-
sel or basket.

Otte of she Nhogistrates Suggested that it would
he prope► to hive the stew measure stamped or
marked with the words " IVcstosito.ter Measure."

The CHAIRMAN void, he did nut think it would
be necessary so have recourse to any mark. He
laud, he said, dettqnsiaird upon establishing she new
tneasure, and he would postpone any further regu.
Winn* until he Alieuld we the Auccros of the pre-
sent one.
