SALE OF A PECK or MEAL
No Intention To Defraud-The Case
Settled In Court.

The case of Mr.. w. L. Brannan in
which he was charged with having SOLD
II pounds of meal for peck, was be-
fore Police Justice Dannehl Thursday.
The charge was made by the State
Food Department. 1t was brought out
that Inspector Taylor, of Richmond,
purchased a peck of meal at Mr.. Bran
mans store Jan. 18th, 1911. Mr.. Bran
nan pleaded not guilty to the warrant
as charged
Commonwealth Attorney w. w.
Butzner appeared for the Food Depart
ment and Mr.. Brannan made his own
statement.
Mr.. w. j. Cox, a clerk in Mr.. Bran
mans store, was called and questioned
by Mr.. Butzner. Mr.. Cox recalled
selling the meal to stranger on GER
tain date. He said q peck Of meal was
called for and he weighed it, giving IL
pounds. that being the weight for a
peck of meal by dry measure.
Mr.. Brannan said it had been the
custom here to sell by dry measure,
that in buying from farmers and Others
dry measure was used and the products
were sold in that way. When a peck
was called for. it was either measured
or weighed as was most convenient
there was no intention of violating any
law or taking advantage of a customer
in selling IL pounds for a peck. the
price was so fixed and if IL pounds,
ounces were given for a peck of meal,
the price would have to be raised in
proportion.
Mr., Brannan said the payment OF
small fine is OF no consequence, but
he felt mortified that through
jealousy or other bad motives someone
in Fredericksburg should have cited
him out and reported his name to the
Food Department at Richmond in order
TO make court case with the purpose
Of injuring his bushes, when there was
no intention to violate any law and nc
one was being imposed upon.
Mr.. Brannan asked the Common
wealth's Attorney if he would give him
the name of the party in Fredericks-
burg who made the complaint. Mr..
Butzner stated that he must exercise
his privilege as Commonwealth At
torney to confine himself to his side of
the case and he would not answer the
question as he was not on the witness
stand, but he further stated that the
complaint was made to him by Inspector
Taylor. Mr.. Brannan also asked the
Commonwealth Attorney if meal could
be sold by dry measure. MIR. Butzner
answered that il could unquestionably,
but if is sold by weight, II pounds and
8 ounces must be given for peck.
Police Justice Danneh stated that he
felt that there was no intention what
ever to defraud on the part of Mr..
Brannan, but it was clear technical
violation of the State regulations, as a
sale by weight and he named the mini
mum fine of $3.50.
