The Winchester Measure.

The Winchester Measure. a term
seldom, If ever used In this country,
though common In England, refers
to the fact that away back in the
reign of Edgar that King established
a legal standard measure for the
prosecution of fraud. The standard
vessels were by royal order kept in
the City OF Winchester. Hence the
Winchester Measure" of the time OF
Henry VII. The standard of measure
In the United States is based on that
OF the mother country. The last
Standard Weights and Measures act
of England was passed in 1855. Many
of the old rules are still in force in
that country.
