So by Judge Kimball yesterday for using un-
sealed scales. Mr.. Becker protested that he
had been assessed in an excessive amount bv
the sealer of weights and measures and pro-
duced an old Georgetown municipal ordi-
nance in support OF his claim. Judge Kimball

lations the sealer of weights and measures is

each inspection. If Mr.. Becker had at any
time been assessed Illegally or excessively he
had his redress in another quarter.
