TRETT.

TARE and trett teacheth the rules or methods that are

ufed to deduct fuch allowances, as merchants and tradesmen usually make in felling goods by weight..

OBS E R V E.

The grofs weight is the whole weight of the goods and the package that contains thein, whether cask, cheft, hamper, or whatever else.

The tare is the weight of the package, or an allowance made inftead thereof.

The trett is an allowance of 4 lbs. in every 104 lbs. for waste, duft, &c.

The cloff is an allowance of 2 lbs. in every 3 cwts. to make the weight hold good when fold by retail.

The futtle is when part of the allowance is deducted from the grofs weight.

The neat or net weight is what remains when all the allowances are deducted from the grofs weight.

CASE

[merged small][ocr errors]

When the tare is at fo much in the whole grofs weight.

R U L E.

Subtract the tare from the grofs, and the remainder is the neat weight.

EXAMPLE

S.

1. The grofs weight is 124 cwts. I qr. 18 lbs. and the tare is 13 cwts. 2 qrs. 19 lbs. ; what is the neat weight?

2. What is the neat weight of 23 hhds. of tobacco, each weighing 15 cwts. I qr. 21 lbs. grofs, tare in the whole 18 cwts. 2 qrs. 11 lbs.?

Anf. 336 cwts. I qr. 24 lbs. 3. The grofs weight is 15 cwt. 3 qrs. 15 lbs. and the tare is 3 cwts. 18 lbs. ; what is the neat weight? Anf. 12 cwt. 2 qrs. 25 lbs.

4. One cafk weighs 6 cwts. 17 lbs. grofs, another weighs 114 cwts. grofs, a third weighs 5 cwts. I qr. 19 lbs. grofs, and a fourth weighs 12 cwts. 2 qrs. 27 lbs. grofs; the tare of the whole is 3 cwts. I qr. 19 lbs. ; what is the neat weight? Anf. 32 cwts. 16 lbs.

CASE II.

When the tare is at fo much per box, barrel, or bag,

duct from the grofs, and the remainder will be the neat weight.
