50 A. If any owner or owners of tobacco, or his or their agent
or agents shall believe that any of their tobacco has been incor-
rectly sampled, and shall so notify the inspector before the sale
thereof within ten days of the date of its inspection, the matter
shall be referred to a committee of arbitration, consisting of
three persons to be selected as follows: One thereof shall be
selected by the inspector, one thereof shall be selected by the
owner or owners of the tobacco, or their agent or agents, and the
two thus selected shall select the remaining member of the com-
mittee; and said committee shall then have the power to require
the deputy inspector in charge of said hogshead of tobacco to
have the same re-opened and if it shall be found that the sample
does not correctly represent said tobacco, the said committee or a
majority of them, shall select a sample which shall correctly rep-
resent, and shall be substituted in the place of the rejected sam-
ple at no cost to the owner; provided, however, that if said
sample shall be found by said committee to properly represent
said tobacco, then the cost of re-opening said tobacco shall be
paid by the owner of the same, and said cost shall be one dollar
($1. 00) per hogshead.
