INSTRUCTIONS for filling up the FORM.

The dwelling-house in the second column may be either

(a.) A separate house-for example, a cottage or a labourer's house:

(b.) A part of a dwelling-house separately occupied as a dwelling-for example, a room or rooms over a stable, caretaker's rooms in an office:

(c.) A room or rooms in a house let out in separate tenements:

If it is a cottage, insert in second column "cottage in

its locality.

66

road," or otherwise specify

If it is a part of a dwelling-house, insert in the second column "rooms over stable,"

66 basement of office," rooms over shop," or otherwise specify the locality of the room or

rooms.

If it is a house let out in separate tenements, insert in the second column the position of the room or rooms occupied; for example, first floor, front room."

In the third column insert, opposite to the description of the dwelling-house in the second column, the name of the man who now inhabits it, and has inhabited it since the twentieth day of July last.

If it has not been so inhabited state so, or omit the dwelling-house from the second column. In filling up the return it must be recollected that, under the Representation of the People Acts,

(a.) A man may occupy part of a house separately, although he is entitled to the joint use of some other part of the dwelling-house; for example, a man occupying the first floor front rooms, and having joint use of a wash-house, may occupy a part of a house separately: (b.) In the case of what is commonly called the service franchise, namely, a person who occupies by reason of any office, service, or employment, if his superior officer or employer inhabits the same house, he is not considered a separate inhabitant occupier; for example, a butler occupying rooms in his master's house is not such an occupier:

(c.) If the landlord of a house let out in separate tenements lives in the house, he need not return the names of the occupiers of tenements in that house:

(7.) The head of the family alone is considered to be the occupier.

Be it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows; (that is to say,)

1. It shall be lawful for the grand jury of any county, county of a city, county of a town, if they shall think fit, at any assizes, or for the town councils of the boroughs of Dublin, Limerick, and Cork, to contribute such sums of money, to be raised off such county or borough, and upon such conditions as such grand jury or town council may think fit, towards the alteration, enlargement, or rebuilding of a certified industrial school, or towards the establishment or building of a school intended to be a certified industrial school, or towards the purchase of any land required for the use of an existing industrial school, or for the site of any school intended to be an industrial school.

2. Any grand jury and the town councils of Dublin, Limerick, and Cork, may, with the approval of the chief secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, borrow money or give security for the repayment of money borrowed or to be

borrowed for the purpose of defraying or contributing towards the expense of altering, enlarging, or rebuilding a certified industrial school, or towards the expense of the establishment or building of a school intended to be a certified industrial school, or towards the purchase of any land required for the use of an existing industrial school, or for the site of any school intended to be an industrial school.

3. Any moneys borrowed or for repayment of which security may be given under this Act, may be charged on any rate levied by the grand jury or town council borrowing or giving security, or on any property belonging to such town council, and shall be repaid together with the interest due thereon, out of such rate or property; and every such grand jury and town council may present such moneys, and make and levy such rates as may be required for such repayment.

4. When any grand jury or town council borrows or gives security for any money under this Act, they shall charge the rates or property out of which the moneys borrowed or secured are payable not only with the interest of the moneys so borrowed or secured, but also with the payment of such principal sum as will secure the repayment of the whole sum borrowed within a period not exceeding thirty-five years.

5. The clauses of the Commissioners Clauses Act, 1847, with the exception of the eightyfourth clause, with respect to mortgages to be created by the Commissioners, shall form part of and be incorporated with this Act; and any

[blocks in formation]

6. Not less than two months previous notice of the intention of such grand jury or town council to take into consideration the making of a contribution, and the borrowing or securing of money under the provisions hereinbefore contained, at a time and place to be mentioned in such notice, shall be given by advertisement in some one or more newspaper or newspapers circulating within such county or borough, and also in the manner in which notices relating to business to be transacted by such grand jury or town council are usually given.

7. When such contribution or such borrowing or securing of money is proposed to be made by the town council of a borough, the order shall be made at a special meeting of the council.

8. No contract for borrowing or securing money under the provisions contained in this Act shall be entered into, unless the industrial school is at the time of entering into such contract certified under the sixth section of the Act of the session held in the thirty-first year of the reign of Her present Majesty, chapter twenty-five.

9. In addition to purposes for which loans may be made under Acts already in force, it shall be lawful for the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland, subject to such rules and regulations as may from time to time be made by the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, to make loans in such cases as the said Commissioners of Public Works may judge expedient for any of the purposes for which grand juries or town councils are by the provisions of this Act permitted to contribute or borrow or secure the repayment of money : Provided always, that the amount of any such loan shall not exceed five thousand pounds.

10. Every loan which shall be made under the provisions of this Act by the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland shall be made repayable within such periods and at such rate of interest as are set forth in a minute of the Treasury made on the sixteenth day of August one thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine, with reference to loans to which section two of the Public Works Loans

Act, 1879, applies, or as the Treasury may from time to time fix in pursuance of that section; and save as regards such periods and rate of interest, the enactments relating to loans made by the said Commissioners of Public Works for the purpose of public buildings erected wholly or partly out of moneys contributed by grand juries or town councils shall, so far as is consistent with this Act, apply in like manner as if a loan under this Act were a loan made in pursuance of those enactments; and any loan made by the Commissioners of Public Works under this Act shall be deemed to be an advance to which section four of the Public Works Loans (Ireland) Act, 1877, applies.

11. All lands upon which any buildings or erections may stand which shall be altered, enlarged, or rebuilt, or established, or built, or which shall have been purchased wholly or partly by means of a loan under this Act, and all such buildings and erections shall be deemed to be and shall be well charged with the payment of the principal and interest of such loan, and that in priority to all charges and incumbrances affecting the same, save and except quit rents and rentcharges in lieu of tithes, and except all charges prior in date (if any) charged upon the premises in favour of the Commissioners of Public Works: Provided always, that in case such lands or buildings shall be held under any grant or demise, nothing herein contained shall prejudice or affect the right of the grantor or lessor in any such grant or demise or of any superior grantor or lessor.

12. When any loan shall be made under this Act by the Commissioners of Public Works, the said Commissioners, if they think fit, may insure against damage by fire all buildings and erections then or thereafter standing or being on the lands or premises charged with such loan, such insurance to be effected in such insurance office or company and in such sum of money, not exceeding the amount of such loan as the said Commissioners shall from time to time direct, and the said Commissioners shall keep on foot such insurance as aforesaid, and all premiums paid thereon by the said Commissioners shall be deemed to be included in all charges and securities whereby repay. ment of such loan shall be secured, and shall be forthwith recoverable in like manner as any principal or interest payable in respect of such loan.

13. The repayment of every loan which shall be made under the provisions of this Act shall be secured by an order of the said Commissioners of Public Works under the
