No. 84

I have the honor to forward an Authenticated and two plain
Copies of an Ordinance of the recent Session of the Legislature,
entitled;

No. 14. An Ordinance to establish a standard of Weights
and Measures.

It will be seen from the Report annexed that the
Attorney General approves of this measure. So do I. I likewise
agree with him that the Magistrates of the Colony should have
power to punish in a summary way the users of false weights.
Attention shall be given to this matter at the next meeting of the
Legislative Council.
