ontainiog the number of the bal
he number of pounds, the price at
he name of the cotton weigher. Tl
ook-keeper calculated the price ai
aid it. On running up the day
urohases, it was discovered that tl
umber of the bale did not correpoi
rith the number then in use by tl
rm, and, on inquiry, It develop*
hat the cotton weigher nad n
