SHORT WEIGHT BREAD.
BAKERS PROSECUTED.
PRICE-CUTTING COMPETITION.
OFFENCES IN CHRISTCHURCH,
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day
"From statements made by master bakers, it seems that the price-cutting competition going on in Christchurch has resolved itself into a struggle to see how much they can get out of a sack of flour." This statement was made by an officer of the Labour Department at the Magistrate's Court when three bakers were charged with delivering shortweight bread.
The defendants were William Henry Beaumont, William Robert Jennings and Louise Adam Woodward. Beaumont and Jennings were convicted and fined £4 and costs. The charge against Woodward was dismissed.
