nish a new a'nd dry package, cask or hogshead for the same at the cost

26. It shall be the duty of the inspector to confine the sample of
each hogshead of tobacco inspected, by tying them together with a strong
tape run through the head of said sample in such manner as shall be
most likely to prevent the bundles from separating or being pulled out,
and shall fasten on said sample a pasteboard label on which shall be
written the marks and number of the hogshead, the date of inspection,
and the name or number of the warehouse, and shall seal said tape and
label with sealing wax, and shall stamp it with the seal of the ware-
house. Whenever a hogshead of tobacco is redrawn or reviewed, the
sample and label thereon of the original inspection shall be returned to
the inspector to be by him destroyed; and the label on the sample given
at the redrawing or reopening of the tobacco shall show that the hogs-
head has been reinspected or reviewed.

recovered before any police justice of the City of Baltimore, as other
