A quick definition of land waiter:

A land waiter is a person who works for the government and is responsible for checking and keeping track of goods that are brought into a port. They make sure that everything is the right weight, size, and amount, and they also taste and examine some of the items to make sure they are safe and legal. It's their job to make sure that everything is accounted for and that no one is trying to bring in anything illegal or harmful.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A land waiter is a customhouse officer in English law who is responsible for examining, tasting, weighing, measuring, and accounting for merchandise that is being landed at any port.

Example: When a ship arrives at a port, the land waiter will inspect the cargo to make sure that it matches the description on the ship's manifest. They will also check to see if any duties or taxes need to be paid on the goods.

Another example: If a shipment of wine is being brought into the country, the land waiter will taste a sample of the wine to make sure that it is of the quality that is being claimed.

These examples illustrate how a land waiter is responsible for ensuring that all goods that are being brought into the country are accurately accounted for and that any duties or taxes that are owed are paid.
