The New Weighers' Law.

The Attorney General in his in
depreciation OF the public weighers'
law, has cast all common sense to
The winds, and through technicali-
ties Of law, tears the act all to pieces,
and makes numbskulls of the legs-
lators who framed it. Under the
construction putupon Article 1914,
by the Attorney General, the law is
imperative eXcepta as to factors and
commission merchants" The pro-
ducer of cotton, wool, sugar, hay
and grain, who brings the same to
market, and sells the same to
buyer, can either weigh the produce
himself, or let the buyer weigh it
for him and in SO doing, neither the
buyer or the seller incur any pen
atty whatever. This view of the
case not only gives the merchant
the right to weigh all produce
purchased by him from the farmer,
but also all cotton purchased from
The same source.
The Attorney General further
etates that as there is no penalty
prescribed for weighing anything
except cotton. wool, hay and grain,
that the law is void as to the weigh-
