to having on the evening of the 29th ult.. gone to the shop
of the defendant, and asked fir a three pearly loaf. The
girl who served replied, that they had no tbrospeany lour's,

Mr. Sergeant Semi ow dented Olathe Ace scales ;night
be produced, and the loaf weighed before him.
To this coarse Johns** objected. urging that the loaf
must have lost weight by drying. On weighing thy loaf, it
wao.found to be just a quarter of an ounce short of two
pounds.
Mr. Sergeant Sutton to the witness.—Did retiree know
a two pound loaf to be sold for 30.?
Witness.—Yes. your Worship, I bought gas .yesterday
for Sid.
Mr. Sergeant SILLON.—Whit should you. bare called
this loaf as you cow see it? . ~. .
.Witoms-11 it bad been as aloWel should lativo,callal it a
two pound loaf. , .„ . . _ . ..
Mr. Sergeant Sutton -declared that.* -was clearly at.
opinion that this was not an offence within the !limit ste-
am' of the Act of Parliament. In giving his reasons for
this opinion' as be might have the misfortune to differ on.
this subject from some other magistrates, he bad to keg
that liis derision might be corrertly reported.. The charge
made is wider a clause in the new Act of Parliament. that
enacts " that it shall not be lawful for any hiker. &oat,
Isiah* and sell. Sec., any loaf or Wives of the description or.
drum:ligation of the peck. half ..peck. quarter of a peck,"
fac. Now be was inclined to think that all the fallacy and
.difference of opinion that have arisen upon thii subject
originated in the misconstruction _of the: words, " the de.
eomination or :description of the peck leaf," &c. it had
*born held by some to mean thiE no loaf should fie told
*oder the name of the peek . af,. Ste, This he did not
-think was the meaning: f the t, for the legirlature dui
lot intend to put a padlock Upon people's mouths, so as.
to prevent then, from calling them by wrong names, bat it
:meant that no loaves should be mold answering to the
'description given by former acts of Parliament to loaves
called the peck-loaf, half-peck-loaf, &c. . These loaves bad
been recognized by repeated acts of Parliament, ever since
the assize of bread was first fixed, their weights.determined
sad their names assigned. The continuation of this mode
I,of selling bread being found generally ioconvepieni to the,
public, as few could be supposed to know and recollect tht,
precise amount of pounds, ounces, mad fractions of ounces,
,each kind of loaf ought to weigh, and hence were open-to
wads imposition, the preseat act was passed, prohibiting-
the Sale of certain loaves. It meant that they were not to
sell such loaves as 'were formerly known and described by.
'different acts of Parliotnent, bat were in future to sell
,bead by weight; and in another clause of. the act they are
oesopelled to weigh the bread io presence of the purchaser,.
whether requested so to do or not, which is a protection to
the public. Now he contended that tho, loaf produced was
4 two-pound loaf, and its price confirmed hint in his
opinion. No person is bronght forward to say that it is it
balf•qoartern loaf. He did not go, nor ever wooli,.upon
the literal meaning of an Act of Parliament; for wherever
the- latter adniitied.of two constructions, he would always
look to the spirit of the act, and the obvious meaoing.of
the legislature, and give the clause the construction most
agreeable thereto. 'l'o obtain a coavictiou, he thought it
necessary fur the informer to prove the intent of the party
to sell it for one or other. of .the prohibited. loaves, ,aod,
thus impose on the public. The calling aloes coostitotes
:aot the-offence; but if. on the other hand, the weight Of,
the loaf,approzimate closely to that of one of the prohiliitati
loaves, and the person gives it as such. loaf, and its FICA
boar a relation thereto, • he ahouhl consider ell thus dr-
Onmstanges as deserving consideration;. bat as in the
present case they did notappear. he felt himself bound in

purchaser or even tire vender railing ft a hali•quartern,
