Cap. 41 Art. 20Checking quantity of spirits produced from wash.

(1) If at any time it appears to the Comptroller that the quantity of spirits produced by any distillery is less than nine-

tenths of a litre of spirits at 57° Gay Lussac in respect of every five degrees of attenuation on every hundred litres of wash distilled, the

Minister responsible for customs may cause enquiry to be made, and if the distiller fails to show to his satisfaction that the deficiency in production has legitimately arisen, the Minister responsible for customs may cause an officer to be specially employed to superintend the working of the distillery.

(2) All expenses incurred in connection with the employment of the said officer shall be borne by the distiller: Provided that, where such officer reports that the deficiency in production is not due to any unlawful act on the part of the distiller, the latter shall not be called upon to pay such expenses.
