28. Every person licensed under this Act to sell wine by retail shall, if required, sell or otherwise dispose of all such wine (except wine in bottle and quantities less than half a pint) by the gallon, quart, pint, or half pint measure, sized or marked according to the standard, and shall also, if required by any guest or customer purchasing such wine, retail the same in a vessel sized or marked according to such standard; and in default thereof he shall for every such offence forfeit the illegal measure, and pay a sum not exceeding forty shillings, together with the costs of the conviction, to be recovered by information or complaint made within seven days next after that on which the offence was committed, before any justice or justices at petty sessions or divisional justice or justices, as the case may be; and such penalty shall be over and above all penalties to which the offender may be liable under any other Act.
