burg contain an important piece of news. It is affirmed,
that one of the first mercantile houses of that city will
open a credit of ten millions of marks banco for the

and were each fined in the mitigated penalty of lal.
and Bs. costs. The informatioos were laid by Mr.
Searle, one of the county inspectors of weights and
measures, who had obtained from the Bench a general
warrant to visit the shops and markets within his dis-
trict. The Act under which the inspectors were ap-
pointed it was for some time considered did not give
the Magistrates power to issue such warrants ; but as
the Judges in the Court of Queen's Bench have re-
cently decided that the Act would be inoperative un-
less such warrants were issued, numerous convictions
are now likely to take place.
