21 Of lending false Weights. D. 4. 3. 18. § 3.

IVnius being to sell a commodity, Lucus knowing∣ly lent him false weights, to weigh his commodi∣ty withall. Trebatius said he was liable to the a∣ction of deceitfull dealing. Others were of a contra∣ry opinion, Because if the weights were too heavy, the seller might recover what he had delivered too much; and if they were too light, the buyer might have the like remedy concerning the price: but if it were agreed that the commodity should passe ac∣cording to such weights, and he with a purpose to deceive, affirmed his weights to be just, the action did hold.
