English term or phrase: office of garbling
Omówienie karty municypalnej Nowego Jorku z 1731 roku:

Karta nadała miastu prawo powoływania... - tu następuje lista urzędników powoływanych przez Radę Ogólną; jest m. in. taki urzędnik:
"[…]office of garbling of all manner of ſpices, and other merchandizes and things to be garbled in the city aſoresaid […]"

Zapewne garbling trzeba tu rozumieć jako przebieranie, sortowanie - podejrzewam, że mogło to mieć związek z urzędową kontrolą albo określaniem (klas?) jakości towarów, chociaż nie znalazłem opisu tej funkcji i nie przychodzi mi do głowy stosowne określenie...
