A Butcher's Steelyards:- Violet SNOWDEN of Covenham was charged with being in possession of an unjust
steelyard, used for trade purposes, on 21 December 1897. Defendant said he had the steelyards. Insp. Kennie said he visited the defendant's slaughterhouse on the date in question and found a large pair of steelyards unstamped hanging upon a nail on the wall. He seized them, and on adjusting them at the office found that they were 5 pounds short weight. They were rejected on the 19 of August 1891, as unfit for use. The defendant was also warned about them at the same time. Defendant said he never used the steelyards. The Chairman:- Have you any proof that he used them ? Inspector Kennie:- Only by the appearance of them. He has no other weighing machine. Defendant:- I never sell meat at home. My meat is sold at Grimsby. Insp. Kennie produced the steelyards for inspection by the Magistrates. The Chairman:- Those have not been put away for a long time. The Magistrates retired and on their return the Chairman said:- Have you, Mr. Kennie, any proof that he sells meat from Covenham ? Insp. Kennie:- No Sir.
