James Smith, butcher, of Rushden, for having unjust meat scale half an ounce and half-drachm deficient against the purchaser. There was also a ball attached .........
Mrs. Wheeler was a real lady. She sat in the cash cubical and dressed herself in a dark dress with white lace edgings on her neck and round her sleeves. Mr. Wheeler was a nice man. At the back of his shop he ran a soup kitchen. I went down with our tin can, which we always had; it was a hardwearing tin can. I would go to the side of his shop to the back where there was a huge copper full of meat and gravy. On top of which floated lumps of fat meat - I must say that even at my age of 99 years I still cannot eat hot fat meat.
