with the duty of seeing that proper returns are made for the
purpose of this article by such commission merchants or

such sellers a statement, under oath, as to the number of bushels
sold from time to time, and to return to the general measurers
and inspectors a certificate thereof, to be forwarded to the
Comptroller, as is required in the case of the certificates for
cargoes, and the payments of the amounts so found to be due
shall be similarly enforced. All such measurers and special
inspectors may be removed at any time by the commander for
neglect or malfeasance or misfesance in office, and said com-

measurer or inspector. The commander of the State fishery
force shall furnish to each of said measurers or special inspec-

same. The form of certificate shall be as follows:
