27. 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 warehouse. When-
ever 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 hogshead has been reinspected or reviewed.

sample of tobacco after it shall have passed from the custody or
control of the inspector, shall, upon conviction thereof in the
criminal court of Baltimore, be fined not less than one hun-
dred dollars for each offence; and no person or persons who-
soever, except the inspector and tying clerk, shall be permitted
to handle any bundles of tobacco drawn for the purposes of a.
sample, until after the same shall have been properly tied up
and sealed by the tying clerk; and any unauthorized person
handling said tobacco in violation of the provisions of this
section, shall forfeit and pay a fine of twenty dollars for each
offence, to be recovered before any police justice of the city of
Baltimore, as other fines are now recovered.
