HARBOUR BOARD WEIGHTS.
The above is a correct copy of the weighnote cartincata as supplied to Messrs Sawtell and Wachsmann, to whom Mr J. T. Wright's wheat was consigned. Mr Wright never applied to the Harbour Board for a copy of the weights, which would have been supplied to him had he done so. The Board can certainly not be held responsible for weights which they never furnished to Mr Wright. The Harbour Board weights are correct in every particular.—Yours, (fee, C. Hood Williams. Christchurch, sth March, 1897.
