LLOYD LOWNDES, ESQUIRE, GOVERNOR. 431
Illuminating Oils and Fluids.

449. All oils or fluids manufactured from petroleum or its
products, used for illuminating purposes in this State, which
shall be manufactured or kept for sale therein, shall be required
to stand a fire test of one hundred and ten degrees Fahrenheit
before it shall burn, to be ascertained by Tagliabue's coal oil
tester, or some other instrument constructed upon the same
principle.

450. Every person manufacturing or selling illuminating
oils or fluids, manufactured from petroleum or its products, by
the barrel, shall be required to have stamped upon the head of
the barrel the name of the manufacturer thereof and his place
of business, together with the words "warranted to stand a fire
test of one hundred and ten degrees Fahrenheit before it shall
burn."

451. Whoever manufactures for illuminating purposes, or
sells in quantities not less than a barrel, oils or fluids made
from petroleum or its products, which does not sustain the fire
test as provided in section 449, shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and on conviction thereof, shall be fined not more
than one thousand dollars, or imprisoned in the jail or peni-
tentiary not more than two years, in the discretion of the court.
Whoever sells in quantities less than a barrel, for illuminating
purposes, oils or fluids made from petroleum or its products,
which does not sustain the fire test provided for in section 449,
shall forfeit said oil, and be fined not less than five nor more
than twenty dollars; said fine to be collected as other fines are
now collected, one-half to go to the informer, the other to be
paid into the treasury of the State.

452. Any purchaser of oils or fluids made of petroleum or
its products, for illuminating purposes, bearing the stamp re-
quired in section 450, and which does not stand the fire test
required in section 449, may recover from the seller in an ac-
tion for debt an amount equal to double the purchase money of
said oil.
