87th Chapter of the Code of Virginia, in relation to Inspection of
Tobacco.

Approved February 11, 1873.

1. Be it enacted, That the sixteenth section of the eighty-
seventh chapter of the Code of eighteen hundred and sixty be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 16. They shall uncase and break every hogshead or cask
brought to be inspected, and if they shall agree that the same
is good, sound, well-conditioned, merchantable, and clear of
trash, it shall be weighed, and the said hogshead or cask mea-
sured; and if found of the dimension authorized by law, it shall
be marked or branded in the presence of the inspectors, or one
of them, with the name of the warehouse, the tare of the hogs-
head or cask, and the quantity of net tobacco therein. The
net weight shall be ascertained by weighing the hogshead or
cask before it is uncased, and deducting therefrom the weight
of the hogshead or cask.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
