SOME OLD TRADE TRICKS.
How They Were Punished Five or Six
Hundred Years A1n

Hundred Years Ago.
Cheating in trade is no new thing. It
was practiced in the fourteenth century
rs we'll as i'll the nineteenth. Our town
records contain many cases of summary
Jurisdiction in matters affecting the
price, weight and quality of food, cloth
Ing and other things
Gull few from the archives Of the
city of London. In 134S proceedings
were taken against n butcher for selling
putrid meat. Three reasons were alleged
against this conduct at his trial before
the mayor and aldermen. 1t was deceit
ful and dishonest; dangerous to the pub
lie health; it brought scandal and dis
grace upon the mayor, corporation, and
all the inhabitants of the city that a
Londoner should behave so After the
investigation he was found guilty, and
condemned to be taken, with his bad
meat carried in front of him, to the pill,
lory in Cornhill, and while he stood
therein the carrion he had tried to sell
YVES burned under his nose.
1t is we'll known that the pillory
was an instrument in which the culprit
was fixed, incapable of movement, ex-
posed to the contempt of the people.
The offense Of the culprit was always
publicly proclaimed, and, according to
the views of the spectators, the punish
ment might be severe or otherwise. If
they dislilled the offense of the offender,
their contempt would take the proven
bal and forciblo form of rotten eggs
and dead cats, and the trader would
make closer acquaintance with his
own wares, both raw and cooked, than
lie might find pleasant.
A publican, convicted of selling un.
sound and unwholesome red wine, was
sentenced TO drink draft of the same
stuff which he sold to the common peo-
pie, the remainder being poured ON his
head, and compelled to forswear the call
ing OF winter i'll the city of London
forever, unless he could obtain the favor
OF tho king. y note on the record states
that he was readmitted five years later
About the same time we find wom-
an charged with selling ale in O short
measure quart pot, the bottom of which
she had thickened with pitch and COW
cred with rosemary, TO look like bush i'll
| the sight OF her customers 1t was O
common practice to put some sort of
evergreen leaves in the bottom of tank
ards-hence the proverb, Good wine
needs no BUSH" Her sentence was to
stand i'll the thew" or female pillory,
with half of the pot attached to it. AS
far as possible, tho cause of the ofRense
was always exhibited along with the
person punished.
Severe punishment was melted out for
endeavoring to raise the standard mar
ket price of corn and other articles. In
l317 merchant was imprisoned for 40
days for enhancing the price of his OWL
property. He secretly employed man
to bring certain of his own (the mer.
chant's) wheat 70 the market, where
upon he bought his own at twopence more
per bushel than the market price, of
course taking care to make the same
well known, forgetting, however, tc
state what he knew about the SELLER

Thursday morning when JalIor
Newcomer reached one of the cells
in the county jail at Colfax he was
Mortified to see J. f. Walters, a
prisoner, hanging by the neck and
dead. The unfortunate man was
cut down. but all efforts to resusci-
tate him were fruitless. The deed
was committed at 4 o'clock in the
morning. A short time previous to
that Mr.. Walters was seen by cold
john" prisoner confined in the
same room, and he was very pale
and was standing with his hands
clasped in front Of himself, and
wanted to know if John was asleep.
cold john" thinking Walters had
lust taken his medicine and that he
was suffering from the toothache,
with which.he had been bothered
for some time, paid little attention
to the matter, for there was nothing
he could do. In a few moments
after that he heard something strike
up against the side Of the cell in
which Walters slept, but paid no
attention to the matter.
Walters was a United States pris-
oner accused of selling liquor to In
dams. and he was III iail awaitina

When first confined he was kept
in one Of the small cells, but not
