only about as much for such a Hhd. as
he would if it were all of inferior
quality.

These evils the undersigned
think would be wholly remedied, were
the Inspection laws of your state altered
so as to conform to those of Virginia -
Let it be the duty of the Inspectors, (as
it now is,) to open every Hhd. of Tobo. that
is offered for sale in the New Orleans
market in three places_ but instead
of classifying it as they now do, let there be
but 2 classes; viz. "passed" and "refused"-
the latter class to embrace all Tobacco
that is trashy, in bad order as to condition,
or badly put up_ the former class to
comprise all other descriptions. The
Inspectors to render a fair sample of
each Hhd. (under oath,) and to place
upon each sample a label, (as at
present) shewing the Inspection letter &
number of the Hhd., and whether it it
"passed" or "refused."
