Inspector of Weights and Measures.
TO THB TDITOB OF THE BTAE. Sib,— ln almost every oilier part of. th« colony I have seen within the last two years, and that means nearly the whole of it, there is appointed an Inspector of Weights and Measures whose duty' it is to feelhatthe public aro only diddled ia a. legitimate manner. New sir, I veould like to know why th-ce is wot such an official in Feildinß. I can assure you he is badly wantnd, because some tradesmen here are aelling short weight handover hand, and no one likes to complain became perhaps they are a 'little in the , ' books of the parties, and don't hare the pluck (« money) to be able to seek redresi/ Hoping. you will find room for 4 this,'— I am, &c.-, ! -• WoEKtif g-man. --' • C" WOBKIKG-MAN " sljoald complain / to the constable;' who will be able to assist him. We also beg to inform the writer th*t certai/pa^ 8 of his lctter> whicll we I have struck out, are very unfair and possibly his statements of fact are exng- . gerated by his feelingg of anger under a sense of injury. A» fo:- ourselves wei sincerely hope lhat our correspondent is in errer, for the credit of the town.— Eci E.B.]
