1868. Shall be seized by any officer of Customs or Excise having a knowledge thereof and shall be and remain forfeited to the Crown,—

Except only that any person may have in his possession for his own use or consumption, not exceeding ten pounds of raw or leaf Tobacco, purchased from a licensed dealer, and on which the duty hereby imposed has been paid, the proof whereof shall lie on such person.

10. The Governor in Council may make such regulations for warehousing raw or leaf tobacco, for destroying such as is not entered for exportation or manufacture, for bonding and taking an account of all raw or leaf tobacco heretofore imported or grown in Canada, for removing raw or leaf tobacco from one Warehouse to another, for causing accounts to be kept by Tobacco Manufacturers or others of raw or leaf tobacco received by them, for determining the quantity of Manufactured Tobacco, Snuff or Cigars, which shall in any case or set of cases, be deemed equivalent to one hundred pounds of the raw leaf, for the granting of licenses to persons to deal in raw or leaf Tobacco, and permits to such persons to take such Tobacco out of bond or from the grower, but without fee for either, and generally for giving effect to the provisions of this Act, as to him may seem necessary.
