WEIGHTS

AND MEASURES.
AMONG the many frauds practised by dishonest trades-
men, perhaps the most deserving of severe punishment is
the practice of cheating the poorer classes by false weights
and measures. The subject was brought more promi-
nently to attention on Wednesday by a number of persons
being fined for offences of this description. The Mayor,
SAMUEL HOLNIE, Esq., took the opportunity of making
some remarks on the subject. He stated that, in order to
remove any objections to the expense of re-adjustment,
the Council had determined, after weights and measures
had been once stamped in Liverpool, to make no further
charge for adjusting, except for materials required to make
up deficient weights. This plan renders deficient weights
less excusable ; and the law should be strictly enforced,
not only as a protection to the poor purchaser, but also in
justice to the honest tradesman.
EMIGRANT - TRAPPERS IN LIVERPOOL.

At the Police-office, yeZerday, a pair of miserable-
looking creatures were brought up before Mr. Nicol, on a
charge of defrauding a poor Trish girl of the sum of £lO.

Their names were Andrew and Rosanna Dunn, apparently
husband and wife. They were both attired in the scantiest

raiment, and seemed to
eighteen
society. The girl, who appeared to be about
belong to the lowest grade of
Iprs of age, came over from Dublin by the stoerammeorthoenr
ilzelklaY last. She states that she has no father .

here she was accosted on the
quay by the male prisoner, Andrew Dunn, who, having
addressed a series of questions to her, and learned that
she was an emigrant, said he would take her to " daycint"
lodgings. In the Course of the afternoon or evening of
the same day, he reqested her to Rive him the money she
had, and he would take care of it for her. She intimated
that she wished to purchase some clothing and next
day they proceeded in company—the girl and the pri-
soners—to the shop of Mr. Briscoe. Before setting out
Dunn gave the girl her money back again ; but in the shop
he asked it from her once more, and, after they had pur-
urpose
chased some goods, went out with the professed p
of procuring change. In the meantime two
Young
in the shop had had their suspicions aroused as
to the man
man
and the elder female ; and, on questioning the
girl aside,
they elicited the circumstances of the case. While
this
was going on, the elder female suddenly disappeared, and
neither she nor her husband came back again. The police
were at once acquainted with the case, and wrote off to
the Dublin police authorities relative to the robbery of the
girl's uncle. A reply was received on Sunday morning,
stating that no such man as the uncle could
be found at
the address supplied. Subsequently fresh particulars re-
lative to the girl's uncle were transmitted to Dublin, but
of course no answer had yet been received. The two sales-
men in Mr. Briscoe's shop, and the girl herself, swore
positively that the prisoner and his wife were the guilty
parties ; but, in spite of this, Dunn asserted in the most
solemn manner that he had never seen the girl in his life
before that naorning—that he knew nothing of her—and
that, on the very day she had stated that she had given
him £lO to keep for her, he had not tasted food for the
long period of twenty-four hours. The female prisoner
stated that they could produce evidence to show that they
had been elsewhere than at llr. Briscoe's shop at the time
mentioned ; and, in order that the culprits might have an
opportunity of doing so, the case was remanded till this
day (Tuesday).
