shall not apply to a male young person employed in day and night turns in pursuance of this exception;

And whereas this special exception is by the Act declared to apply to the factories referred to in the said section;

And whereas it has been proved to my satisfaction that in non-textile factories of the class mentioned in the Schedule hereunder, it is necessary, by reason of the nature of the business requiring the process to be carried on throughout the night, to employ male young persons of 16 or upwards at night, and that such employment will not injure the health of the male young persons employed;

Now I, the Right Honourable Richard Assheton Cross, one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, by this Order, made under Part 2 of the said Act, extend the said exception to factories of such class so far as regards male young persons of 16 or upwards.

This Order shall come into effect on 1st January, 1879, and shall, unless previously revoked, continue in force until 31st December, 1882, and no longer.

Home Office, Whitehall, 10th December, 1878.
