Description:Excerpt from United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Vol. 5 (Testimony of Edward Park.) Q. Calling the four tubs a round. Mr. Mullan has so testified, Mr. Wilson has so testified, and so have a number of other witnesses for the defense testified that it was the custom to weigh four tubs at one time, one after another? A. They only weigh four tubs at a time, and only four - sometimes only three - when the barge is stopped, we will say, the chute is blocked up, and the tubs are remaining there for ten minutes or a quarter of an hour; then if those tubs are even, not overloaded, then the weigher may possibly take four, but sometimes he will take three. Q. Isn't it a fact, Mr. Park, that it has been the custom, almost invariable custom, for the customhouse weigher to call for four tubs to be placed upon the scales at a time and those tubs were weighed consecutively, one, two, three and four, before another tub unweighed was deposited into the bunkers of the ship? A. No. Q. Has it ever been done? A. It has been done. Q. Isn't it the general thing to do it? A. No, certainly not. Q. About how often is it done in, say, a working day? [1342-1280] A. Well, as I said, if the barge is stopped, and those tubs are in the barge filled, and those tubs are correct, not overloaded, then they might weigh them; but not otherwise.
