false weights and measures. The trades were-7 cheese-

tobacconist, 6 greengrocers, 3 bakers, 3 oilmen, 6 marine
store dealers, 8 grocers, 1 stove dealer, 1 licensed victualler,
and 2 persons keeping chandler's shops. The highest fins

inflicted for a second offence, and 10s for a third offence.
In one case a baker was fined for placing a penny piece on
the scale) and a grocer for having a paper weight
under the scale, and a marine-store dealer for having
a large lump of lead in the scale which was removable.
The returns do not give the names of the guilty parties.

colony was in favour of the undertaking,
