he

he
succeed
in

a

he
is
as
equally
liable
to
have
the
corresponding-
increase
occasioned
in
his
Rum,
not
only
forfeited,
but
also
accompanied
with
a
similar
heavy
penalty

the
Gin-shop-keeper,
who
can
send
out
whatever
he
pleases
from
his
retail
bar,
without
having
to
render
any
account,
may
use
it
with
im-
punity;
and,
as
he
does
not
apply
it
any
further
than
as
the
decreases
on
his
Rum
will
allow,
he
is
above
all
fear
of
detection.
