conduct
it
on
a
fair
and
equitable
basis,
whether
with
regard
to
the
Revenue
or
the
Public
;
whilst
the
person
who
is
possessed
of
a
Wholesale
License,
united
with
his
Retail
one,
is
enabled
to
impose
on
both
with
impunity
;
his
wholesale
stock
being
taken
as
connected
with
his
retail
trade,
and
on
a
principle
totally
different,
to
that
arranged
for
those
who
belong
to
the
other
class.
To
enable
my
Readers
thoroughly
to
compre-
hend
this
difference,
it
may
be
necessary
to
explain
it
in
a
technical
way,
as
more
clearly
elucidating
the
extensive
latitude
afforded,
where
the
whole-
sale
and
retail
businesses
are
conducted
on
one,
and
the
same
premises.
Of
a
Wholesale
Dealer's
stock
(who
is
exclu-
sively
such),
an
account
is
taken
in
what
is
techni-
cally
termed
Proof
Spirit
t
which
is
thus:
The
separate
per
centages
of
spirit
contained
in
his
Brandy,
Rum,
Gin,
&c.
is
ascertained
by
means
of
the
hydrometer,
and
is
equalized
so as
to
appear
a
whole
quantity,
under
each
particular
head,
ac-
cording
to
its
sort
\
whatever
is
brought
into
stock
of
spirits,
the
permit
must
either
specify
the
per
centage
of
strength
of
the
article,
and
the
quantity,
or
only
the
total
quantum
of
Proof
Spirits,
which
is
contained
in
the
bulk
of
the
goods
protected
by
it;
and
in
sending
out
Spirits,
the
Dealer
is
obliged
also
to
express,
on
his
request
note,
what
per
centage
of
strength
the
liquor
is
of,
before
he
can
obtain
the
permit.
