State why you did not enter the number of proof gallons in the proof gallon column? Objected to. Counsel for the defence—I wish, your Honor, to show that these goods came in so late in the day Thal it was impossible to gange them, to have the figurea sent to the office and compared with the bill, to ascertain the correct number of proof gallons till the following day; to show, in fact, ¥ oye Honor, that the witness, who bad charge of ‘the book, was ‘unable to make the entry from the receipt of the goode up to the time of the seiznre. The wording ‘Of the statute was to some extent cmbiguous. It says “evtries shall be made daily.” It does not mean Wat the entry shall be made necessarily on same day. Mr. Courtney—The contrary has been held by two courts. vhe Court—I have had the section of the statute under consideration @ great many times, and I ex- clude the evidence.
