pose of ascertaining the weight that may be drawn
along the said road in any cart, wagon, or other

proper, and when there may seem reasonable cause to
suspect that any cart, wagon, or other carriage of
burthen, carries a greater weight than is or shall
be by law allowable, it shall be lawful for the toll-
gatherers, or other persons in their service or em-
ployment, to prevent the same from passing such
gate or turnpike, until such cart, wagon, or other
carriage of burthen shall be drawn into the fixed
or erected scales, at or near any such gate or turn-
