HANSEN v. LORIE.
xo thi kditob. Sib,—ln Mr Lorle's letter in Saturday's Stab he states that ♦• tho faot of our aoaleß being in tbe aggregate sjlb against ourselves will be accepted by the publio as sufficient evidence that no blame attaches to us." Mr Lorie further stated in Court that his scales are only used for the benefit of the producer and buyer. Now, Mr Lorie, according to evidence in Court, has one scale 71b against himself; but acoordiog to another witness it is 71b against the producer. Then, another Bcale is ljlb against the buyer. It is clear that the producer can get no benefit by having his goods weighed on such scales, nor oan the buyer. I would ask : Which of the two is the worst case-a scale which takes from the producer 71b or his produce, or that by which a buyer loses lilb on his purohase! I have no doubt Mr Hansen will do justice to the producer as well aa the buyer.— I am, etc, SCALES, South Dunedin, March 7.
