Summary

The gauger and the old man with the whiskey jar.

The contributor's grandfather met a gauger while taking a pig of whisky to an inn. They fought. His grandfather lost his cap but he got away. He was bald, so the gauger thought he would recognise him if he went to church on Sunday. His grandfather wore his wig, and the gauger did not spot him.
