COURT OF• •BURGESSES, .WESi':

(Bdore the Deputy Steward, the High Bailiff, and a full
Court of Burgesses.)
At the meeting of this Court on Thursday, and after the
d'spoial of the preliminary business, the appeals were
called on. ,

Mr. Pamphilon, of. Castle-street, Leicester-square, cheese-
monger, appealed against a conviction of a former Court, and
said he should be' glad to know what his offence had been, for
he was not aware he had committed any ?
The DEPUTY STEWARD—YOU were fined 10s. for having
two pair of scales deficient ; one two drachms, the other 1.
Mr. Parnphilon said it would be quite impossible, to carry
on business, if tradesmen were to be fined and have their
names exposed in the newspapers, for such trivial deficiencies.
With these scales he was in the habit of weighing by the
half cwt., and a fraction of an ounce was never charged, for
instance an article might weigh 14 drachms over the ounce,
and he should not for a moment think of charging it, it
would be given to the buyer ; yet he (Mr. Pamphilon) was
tinedfor a draft of from one to two drachms.

The COURT seemed to be of opinion that as the scales were
not correct the fine ought to be imposed.
Mr. PerriPhildn—Then I have another plea to offer, and
-that is, that your own weights are not correct, by which you
test other people's.
The DEIUTY STENvAnn—llow can that be, when: our
standards are tried by the proper Court.
Mr. Pamphilon said he had some weights now which had
been sent down to that Court to be adjusted and stamped ;
they had never been used since then, and yet they were
nearly all wrong. Two 14 lb. weights differed from each
other at least seven drachms. Now if he had used those
weights, he was liable to be pounced upon by the jury, to be
tined, and his name published. Thissurely was a great pub-
lic evil, and ought to be remedied. The weights were now in
Court, in order that the truth of his statement might be
verified.
The CotinT assented to the proposition, and the jury left
for the purpose of trying Mr. Pamphilon's weights. Upon
their return,

The Foreman of the jury stated that the weights were
nearly all found too heavy.
After some further conversation, it was decided that a
strict inquiry should be made into the irregularities at the
stamping office.--Mr. Pamphilon's fine will be remitted.
