§ 43-19-203. Reinspection — Making.
Should any planter, or the planter's agent representing the planter, claim that the sample drawn from the planter's tobacco by an inspector does not represent fairly the hogshead from which it was taken, the planter may demand and have that hogshead reinspected. The tobacco board of trade, where one exists, shall appoint a committee, consisting of two (2) warehousemen and one (1) buyer, who shall resample such tobacco, so as to show, as nearly as may be, the average condition and quality of the hogshead; and upon such sample so drawn by the committee, and the sample drawn by the inspector, the board of trade shall proceed to adjudge, in the same manner and in all respects as reclamations in favor of the buyer are determined, the amount, if any, the hogshead has been undersampled by the inspector, and the amount so adjudged shall be paid by the inspector to the planter. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent any planter from guaranteeing the planter's tobacco to come up to the sample drawn by any inspector. Acts 1889, ch. 192, § 3; Shan., § 3389a; Code 1932, § 6487; T.C.A. (orig. ed.), § 43-2112.
