head of tobacco that may be delivered for inspection in not less than
five different places for Maryland and Ohio, and not less than three
different places for Kentucky and Virginia tobacco, and in as
many more places as may be necessary to fully determine the
contents of said hogshead; and if the inspector shall be of the
opinion that such tobacco is sound, clean and in good order, then
he shall select from each break as many bundles as will correctly
represent the different qualities of tobacco contained in the break,
and the bundles so selected shall be considered the sample of the
hogshead; he shall also have the hogshead properly marked with
its number, the year of inspection, and the names legibly written
of the owner on each head and bilge, and shall have the tore and
net weight marked with iron on the bilge, as directed in the pre-
ceding section.
