cal
term
by
which
this
method
of
taking
stock
is
distinguished
from
that
adopted
for
the
wholesale
dealer,
is
its
being
surveyed
according
to
the
bulk
of
gallons,
without
reference
to
the
relative
strengths
of the
Spirits,
so
long
as
they
are
not
below
the
legal
standard,
nor
is
any
further
account
taken
of
the
strengths
of
the
Spirits,
in
a
Retail
and
Wholesale
Licensed
Dealer's
stock,
un-
der
this
regulation,
than
may
be
said
to
amount
to
a
nominal
preventive,
for
his
having
any
very
large
quantity
on
hand,
of
an
illegal
strength,
when
the
officer
pays
his
visit.
The
Spirits
a
Retailer
may
receive
into
stock,
are
taken
according
to
the
bulk
or
number
of
gallons
contained
in
the
cask,
or
casks,
permitted
to
him,
and
whatever
the
strength
may
be,
whether
underproof
or
overproof,
he
is
allowed
credit
to
re-
duce
or
keep
it,
at
any
standard
he
pleases,
not
exceeding
seventeen
per
centum
underproof,
if
it
be
foreign
Spirits,
such
as
Brandy,
Rum,
&c.
but
if
British,
such
as
Gin,
or
Compounds,
such
as
Noyeau,
Shrub,
&c.
to
any
reduced
rate
of
strength,
that
may
be
necessary
to
meet
his
views.
For
any
kind
of
Spirits,
he
may
have
occasion
to
permit
out,
he
is
obliged
to
state
on
the
request
note,
for
the
permit,
(and
which
is
again
tran-
scribed
on
the
latter
by
the
Excise
perm
it-
writer)
the
strength
of
such
Spirits,
but
for
no
other
pur-
pose,
than
to
render
the
goods
seizable,
if
they
should
be
stopped
by
any
officer,
and
the
strength
