colouring
matter
called
JBerry-dye,
necessary,
to
answer
the
extent,
to
which
the
placarder
wishes
to
reduce
the
cost
price.
The
chief
end,
however,
in
view,
in
advertising
it
for
sale,
is,
in
order
to
give
as
plausible
a
face
to
the
possession
of
it
as
possible,
so
that
when
the
adulterator,
uses
it
in his
Port
Wine,
in
which
a
requisite
decrease
has
previ-
ously
been
obtained,
the
disappearance
of
a
nearly
similar
quantity
of
Red
Cape,
to
occupy
the
place
of
that
decrease,
may
not
have
any
singular
or
suspi-
cious
appearance;
which
would
be
the
case,
did
he
not
give
some
reason,
(by
placarding
or
advertising
it,)
to
suppose
that
a
similar
quantity
might
have
been
sold.
With
those
of
our
advertisers
and
pla-
carders,
who
are
Gin-shop-keepers,
the
facilities
for
thus
imposing
on
the
Excise
Officers,
are
very
great,
as
they
are
able
to
avail
themselves
of the
interpre-
tation,
to
which
they
are
always
open,
of
having
disposed
of
some
considerable
quantity
over
their
counters,
without
having
been
under
the
necessity
of
drawing
any
permit,
which would
expose
them
to
a
greater
risk
of
detection.

Singular
as
it
may
appear,
that
Wines,
the
better
qualities
of
which
are
sufficiently
indifferent,
when
in
a
genuine
state,
and
of
themselves,
should
be
made
a
source
of
profitable
imposition,
through
the
medium
of
adulteration,
it
is
not
less
the
fact,
