stated
by
the
Dealer,
and
that
which
the
liquor
really
possesses,
be
found
not
to
agree.
The
Retailer,
on
having
his
stock
surveyed,
is
only
liable,
if,
upon
ascertaining
the
number
of
gallons
in
stock,
and
what
has
been
sent
out
by
permit,
there
should
appear
any
increase
beyond
his
last
balance,
and
what
has
been
had
in-
since,
added
together,
or
to
have
seized
on
account
of
being
deficient
in
strength,
only
such
Spirits,
as
are
found
to
be
so,
when
the
officer
entertains
a
suspicion,
and
chooses
to
make
an
examination
;*
and
with
respect
to
having
any
increase
discovered,
as
the Retail
and
Wholesale
trades,
are
both
sup-
plied
from
one
and
the
same
source,
and
a
constant
sale
is
taking
place
over
the
Retail
bar,
there
is
but
little
danger
of
the
officer,
meeting
with
such
a
result at
the
time
of
his
visit,
(nor
indeed
at
any
other),
as
the
Dealer
always
manages
to
retain
a
small
decrease
from
his
last
stock,
(for
the
sake
of
appearances),
on
whatever
article
he
may
have
de-
teriorated,
and
to
render
himself
always
safe,
he
never
makes
an
addition
to
any
of
his
goods,
in
the
way
of
adulteration,
until
he
is
afforded
suf-
ficient
room,
in
such
goods,
(by
what
has
been
re-
tailed
of
them),
to
admit
of
that
addition,
without
exceeding
his
credit.
But
as
nothing
can
better
illustrate,
or
more
*
How
easily
this
is
to
be
avoided,
although
the
offence
be
committed
to
a
considerable
extent,
may
be
gathered
from
the
commencement
of
my
remarks
on
Rum,
