BAKERS' ASSIZE.

The fo
graph is dllowing is from a Quebec paper: the
last paraceerving the notice of our Ala-
gistrates

" Several ;Bakers having represenled that, by
the assize of bread. as at present set upon the
principle temporarily adopted by the Magistrates
last winter, • the public is paying per loat
more than the price ought to be, allowing the
usual !waft to the Bakers ; the belagistrates, we
are informed,' have resolved' to discontinue the
assize altogether, according to the, provisions Of
the law, inorderthat these Bakers may thus have
an opportunity of serving their customers at a
cheaper rate, without subjecting themselves to.
the odium of the trade by selling lower than the
cegtdarred price. •
•
"'At:ter the present week, lite. Bakers will ac
cordingly be subject only to the marking of their
bread with the initial letters of their names, and
preserving the weight fixed by law for the !wives ;
and it is hoped that the public, AO longer de-
pending on the assize, will take the trouble
toy ,
give a preference to those bakers who will fur-
nish them. with bread of the best quality at the.
lowest Tate.
• " It tuay he,proper to remind the Bakers, that
sett meetings or combinations ors their part, with
a view tolix.the price of breads will subject them
to criminal prosecutions, and, upon conViCatfili
to severe panishments."
