Confiscating butter.
--Yesterday morning Mr. Tyler, the Clerk of the Second Market, seized eighteen pounds of fresh butter, sent to market by Mrs. Stanley, of Hanover county, because it was put up in cakes of thirteen ounces each, and the cakes offered for sale as containing one pound each.
A resident of Shockoe Hill bought two of the cakes for $10, and after weighing them, found that they were six ounces short of two pounds. The affair was brought to the attention of the Mayor, who ordered the butter to be confiscated.
