for the subsequent 200, amounting
to s4.54 But, see you, lie charged
these blanks, which arc S3x14 inches
in size, as "wholc sheets" (of fiat cap
paper measuring 14xl7 inches in sizc)
and put in his bill at the rate Of SIS
for the first hundred and $l.23 for
each subsequent 100. His bill in this
one item was Just $3.50 more than
his contract called for, or 80 per cent
more than lie had a right to charge.
The 200 subpoenas are subpoenas
in Justice court. They are just 'xS4
inches in size, as most everybody is
aware, and for these he has charged
s4.45. They are quarter sheets cut
from flat cap paper measuring l4x17
inches, and the legal rates for quar-
ter. sheets printed on both sides are
S6 for tho first 100 and so cents for
each subsequent 100. His bill for
the order should have been onc-third
Of this rate, which would have been
50 for the first 100 and 20 cents for
the extra 100, making 1920 in all.
He put in his bill for $4.45, or 5 cents
more than double his contract price,
and ISL cents more than lie could le-
ultimately have charged under his
contract for blanks twice the size.
On August 80, 1894, lie put in Il
bill Of Sl2.S for 200 sheritf's deeds
under foreclosure and billed them as
double sheets. This blank is sheet
of double flat cap l7x2S cut in two
the long way, and measures 94x2S,
or, if the paper had been cut the
other way, would have been l4x17, a
whole sheet under the law. Tho
legal rate for the blank is SIS for the
first 100 and 1926 for each subsc'
oucnt hundred, and one-third OF this
!, for the first 100 would have been SG
and for the subsequent 100it would
: have been AZ cents, making S6.42
: which was all Faulds was entitled t.
: under his contract to print thes
S blanks at 663 per cent below lcga
: rates. lie charged $12.S4, or jus
{ double what his contract called fol
q How he figured that $12.S4 was one
