Power to transfer wine on leaving service, &c.

122. If any such officer shall leave the service or be removed to another ship, the officer of the Customs may permit the transfer of any such wine from one officer to another, as part of his proportion, whether on board the same ship or another, or the transhipment from one ship to another for the same officer, or the re-landing and warehousing for future re-shipment; and the officers of Customs at any port may receive the duties for any of such wine, and deliver the same for home use; but if any of such wine be not laden on board the ship for which the same was intended, or be unladen from such ship without permission of the proper officer of Customs, the same shall be forfeited.
