authorized to attach salt shall have seized or be about to seize any dis-
patch of salt, on information or suspicion of its being contraband, or shall

or boats used in transporting such salt, and shall have reason to apprehend
forcible resistance, such officer shall apply to the nearest darogah to aid

risk of the officers authorized to seize, and the police-officers shall not be
competent to exercise any discretion in regard to the propriety or other-
wise of the seizure which they may be called upon to support, but shall be
careful to prevent any unnecessarv violence.
