gallon.
As,
however,
it
can
only
be
done
to
the
extent
of
the
first
example,
by
the
largest
of
our
Gin-shop
Placarders,

rarity
of
such
detections
is
notorious.

Neutral-flavor-
British
Brandy,
22
per
cent,
underproof,
40
gallons.
The
officer
does
not
again
survey
him
for
a
period
of
twenty-eight
days
;
and
he
has
sold
du-

the
intermediate
time,
in
quantities
of
less*
than
two
gallons,
as
