514 OYSTERS. [ART. LXXII
case of certificates for cargoes, and payment of the amounts so found
to be due shall be similarly enforced. Wherever it is claimed that
oysters found within the State of Maryland were caught beyond the
limits of said State, the burden shall be upon the person making such
claim to establish the truth thereof by clear and satisfactory evidence.
All such general measurers and inspectors or special inspectors may be
removed at any time by the Conservation Commission for neglect or
malfeasance in office. The said Commission shall furnish to each of
the said special inspectors certificates in book form, supplied with
carbon paper, so that each of the said triplicate certificates shall be
exactly the same; the form of the certificate shall be as follows:
.......................19.....
I hereby certify, that I have this day inspected for Captain........
............... of the Schooner..................... a cargo of
oysters caught beyond the limits of the State of Maryland, and sold to
................... and found the same to contain..............
bushels of merchantable oysters and..................... bushels of
unmerchantable oysters.
(Signed)........................

inspection districts and organize the board of inspectors provided for
the City of Baltimore in section 69 of this article, and all general meas-
urers and inspectors provided in said section 69 shall be assigned to and
remain during the whole season at the specific points to which they are
assigned, subject, however, to the discretion of the Commission; and
the Commission shall have general control and supervision over all gen-
eral measurers and inspectors and special inspectors; and the said gen-
eral measurers and inspectors and special inspectors are hereby required
to report to the Commission whenever required, and if they shall refuse
or neglect to make such report they shall be fined for each said failure
or refusal the sum of ten dollars, to be deducted from their salaries,
and the said Commission shall have the power to transfer any general
measurer and inspector or any special inspector from any house or dis-
trict whenever it may deem it best for the good of the service to enforce

and 71 hereof, every packer or commission merchant buying oysters in
the State of Maryland shall furnish to the special inspector of his dis-
trict a weekly report under oath showing the number of bushels, bags
or barrels of oysters purchased by him during the preceding week.
Every packer or canner of oysters, and every person selling oysters on
commission, when taking out a license at the beginning of the oyster
