37. [Recital.] If any person whatever shall sell beer by retail, that is to say, in any quantity less than four and a half gallons, or in less than two dozen reputed quart bottles, at one time, at any other house or place than the house or premises specified in a licence duly granted to him in that behalf, he shall be deemed to sell beer by retail without having an Excise retail licence in force authorizing him so to do, and shall accordingly be subject and liable to the penalty of twenty pounds for every such offence, anything in any former Act or Acts to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any information or other proceeding for the recovery of such penalty it shall be sufficient to charge that he sold beer by retail without having an Excise licence in force authorizing him so to do, and it shall not be necessary further or otherwise to describe such offence.
