SEC. 22. And be it enacted, That where there are two in-
pectors in the same inspection, and they shall have disagreed in
opinion to the passing of any hogshead of tobacco, and a re-
1 view shall be afterwards required, and such hogshead, or any
part thereof, shall be by such reviewers adjudged unmerchanta-
ble, and burnt agreeably to the directions of this act, that in
such case the inspector who shall have disagreed to the passing
such tobacco shall not be burthened with making satisfaction
for the same, or any part thereof, but in such case the inspector
who would have passed the same shall make satisfaction for the
whole ; and where any tobacco on review shall be adjudged
unmerchantable, the inspector or inspectors who passed such
tobacco shall immediately pay the owner one other hogshead of
the same weight and quality, and thereupon the note for the
tobacco adjudged unmerchantable as aforesaid shall be delivered
up to the inspector or inspectors to be destroyed, and if the in-
spector or inspectors shall refuse or neglect, he or they shall be
answerable for the full value of the tobacco, at the price thereof
at the time; and the inspector or inspectors, or his or their
bonds, with his or their sureties, may be sued, at the election of

person holding the same, under the penalty of twenty dollars,
and no person shall receive any other hogshead of tobacco than
the very hogshead for which the note is given in lieu of the

case where the tobacco, for which the note is given, shall, on
review, be adjudged unmerchantable, of a quality different from
that expressed in the note.
