If any spirit grocer himself takes or carries, or employs or suffers any other person to take or carry, any intoxicating liquor out of or from the premises of such spirit grocer for the purpose of being sold on his account, or for his benefit or profit, and of being drunk or consumed in any other house, or in any tent, shed, or other building of any kind whatever, belonging to such spirit grocer, or hired, used, or occupied by him, or on or in any place, whether enclosed or not, and whether or not a public thoroughfare, such intoxicating liquor shall be deemed to have been consumed by the purchasers thereof on the premises of such spirit grocer, with his privity and consent; and such spirit grocer shall be punished accordingly in manner provided by the next preceding section.
Any conviction for an offence under this Section shall be recorded on the excise license of the spirit grocer convicted.
In any proceeding under this section it shall not be necessary to prove that the premises or place or places to which such liquor is taken to be drunk belonged to, or were hired, used, or occupied by, such spirit grocer, if proof be given to the satisfaction of the court hearing the case that such liquor was taken to be consumed thereon or therein with intent to evade the conditions of his excise license.
