The inspection of measures and weights was conducted by three noble men or senators (justicieri). The aim of this service was to control weights, scales, measures, and prices in stores and in the marketplace. The inspectors were also in charge of any related lawsuits and were able to reach judgments within their field of responsibility.

The fonds has been linked to the archive since its inception. In times of the Dubrovnik Republic, the books of the fonds were stored in the Salt Office, and they were relocated to the Rector’s Palace by 1891, when the archives were consolidated and were made available to researchers. The archive in the Rector's Palace has been functioning as an independent institution since 1920, and it was moved to the Sponza Palace in 1952, where it is still located today.

Opseg i sadržaj
Some books of this fonds, such as the Processum matrimoniale Marusse relicte olim Antonii Bratossaglich die VIII mai 1480, Lamenti dinnanzi Giudici del Criminale 1490-1490, Lamenta Notariae 1519-1524, due to their content, in fact belong to other fonds. The books of this fonds mainly consist of complaints (Lamenti de Giutizieria) and judgments that were both reached by justicieri (Sententie de Giusticieri). Some judgments can also be found in the books of complaints. The inappropriate usage of measures and weights, the sale of goods at prices higher than prescribed, the sale of goods without the permission of the justicieri and the embarkation of goods not previously weighed are the most common topics of these complaints and judgments. The goods that are referenced to in the books of this fonds are most often various food products, soap, clothing, and similar products. The books cover the period from the beginning of the 15th to the 70s of the 17th centuries.
There are only very few references to Jewish people in this fonds. These references can mostly be found in the books of the Lamenti de Giutizieria from the 17th century. In these references Jews are usually accused of unauthorized sale of goods or sale at prices higher than prescribed (e.g., vol. 9, f. 10). An interesting fact about these references is that only first names appear in the records.
