LIGHT-WEIGHT BREAD.
HEAVY-WEIGHT FINE. “It does not matter to the customer whether his baker is careless or dishonest if short-weight broad is delivered to him,” said Mr F. V. Frazer S.M., at Wellington yesterday, when Mr J. Scott, appearing for Jnseph William Armstrong, a baker, charged with selling underweight bread, stated that defendant had explained to him that a new flour had been used, and that the six Ounce margin allowed for evaporation had proved too little. “Every baker has a set of scales,” continued Mr Frazer, “and if he does not like to take the precaution of testing his bread now and again, he must be prepared to take the consequences. This man. might have been selling short-weight bread for weeks.
“Wo had some trouble about adulterated milk a little time ago, and I want to make it quite clear that I am going to take the same stand in regard to this matter. There is only one way to pul: a stop to this sort of thing, and that is to hit it hard every time. Defendant is fined £lO and costs.”
