ROBERT BOWIE, ESQUIRE, GOVERNOR.
the inspector or inspectors, on delivering the same, shall take
in his or their former notes, and be answerable for the safe keeping
of every hogshead of tobacco, the note for which shall be so delivered,
in the same manner that they are now for crop tobacco, but the
person receiving such note shall pay to the inspector or inspectors
the sum of five dollars for the cask, nails and prizing thereof; and
the inspector or inspectors shall sell all transfer tobacco which shall
not be so received and marked, on the second day of holding the
county courts in each county respectively on each shore, if fair, if
not, on the first fair day thereafter, by public auction, in single
hogsheads, and not otherwise, and shall pay the money arising from
such sale at the average price of the sale of tobacco belonging to
each house, in satisfaction of their notes from time to time to the
proprietors thereof making their demand, under the same penalty
as is prescribed for not paying inspectors notes. |
1804.
CHAP. 85. |
3. AND BE IT ENACTED, That all transfer tobacco,
when prized
in hogsheads, shall be subject to the same charges for inspection
and otherwise, as crop tobacco is subject to. |
Transfer tobacco
subject to same
charges as crop. |
4. AND, whereas doubts have arisen to the
legality of the inspectors
permitting persons who may offer tobacco in hogsheads at
the respective warehouses which may be refused, to carry the same
so refused from the warehouse at which it shall have been offered,
and it appearing reasonable that such indulgence should be given to
every person thus circumstanced, BE IT ENACTED, That in case
any person shall hereafter offer at any warehouse for inspection, any
tobacco in hogsheads, and the same shall be found by the inspector
to be unmerchantable, it shall and may be lawful for such inspector
to permit the person owning such tobacco to take away the same
from the said warehouse for the purpose of altering the condition
thereof, or otherwise. |
Persons owning
tobacco found unmerchantable,
permitted to take
the same away. |
5. AND BE IT ENACTED, That this act shall
continue and be in
force for the same term of the continuance of the act to which this
is a further supplement; Provided, that nothing herein contained
so far as relates to transfer tobacco, shall extend, or be construed
to extend, to St. Mary's county, any thing herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Further continued by annual general
continuing acts of 1805, ch. 109, &c. |
