Every person who shall convey any filth emitting a stench through or along any street shall, previous to and during the whole time of such conveyance, cause such filth to be covered with lime or other suitable substance, or shall adopt such other precautions as respectively may be reasonably necessary to prevent the emission of noxious or offensive effluvia from such filth.

The occupier of any premises shall not keep any swine, or deposit any swine's dung within the distance of (100) feet generally, but sixty at the least) from any dwellinghouse, or in such a situation, or in such a manner as to pollute any water supplied for use, or used or likely to be used by man for drinking or domestic purposes, or for manufacturing drinks for the use of man, or any water used or likely to be used in any dairy.

The occupier of any premises shall not keep cattle, or deposit the dung of any cattle in such a situation, or in such a manner as to pollute any water supplied for use, or used or likely to be used by man for drinking or domestic purposes, or for manufacturing drinks for the use of man, or any water used or likely to be used in any dairy.

Every occupier of a building or premises wherein or whereon any horse or other beast of draught or burden, or

PART 2.

Common Lodging-houses.- Vide "the Act," pages 20, 21. All common lodging-houses must be registered, and the number of lodgers to be admitted restricted by fixing the maximum number to be received.
