Information of any nuisance may be given by-
(a) Any person aggrieved thereby.

(b) Any two inhabitant householders of district.
(c) Any officer of such authority.

(d) The relieving officer.

(e) Any constable or officer of the police force of such district.

On receiving information, the L. A. shall serve notice requiring abatement of the nuisance within a time to be specified in the notice.

NOTE. If nuisance arises from defective construction of any structural convenience, and there is no occupier of the premises, notice shall be served on the owner. And if nuisance does not arise by the act, default, or sufferance of the owner or occupier, the L. A. may themselves abate it without further order.

Where the nuisance proved to exist is such as to render a house or building unfit for human habitation the Court may prohibit the using thereof for that purpose, until in its judgment the house or building is rendered fit for that purpose.

Any person not obeying an order of the L. A. to abate a nuisance shall, if he fails to prove that he used all diligence to carry out such order, be liable to a penalty not exceeding ten shillings per day during his default, and any person knowingly and wilfully contravening the order shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding twenty shillings per day.

And the L. A. may enter the premises and abate the nuisance and recover in a summary manner all expenses incurred from the person on whom the order is made.

The L. A. or any of their officers shall be admitted into any premises to examine for the existence of nuisances at any time between the hours of nine in the forenoon and six in the afternoon, and in the case of a nuisance arising in respect of any business, then at any hour when such business is in progress or is usually carried on. And any person refusing to obey an order of a justice for admission of the L. A. shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds.

For the purpose of the provisions of the Act relating to nuisances, any ship or vessel lying in any river, harbour, or other water within the district of an L. A. shall be subject to the jurisdiction in the same manner as if it were a house. And the master or other officer in charge shall be deemed to be the occupier.

I. Offensive Trades.

Any person who, within the district of an U. A., establishes without their consent in writing any of the following trades:

Blood-boiler.

Bone-boiler.

Fellmonger.

Soap-boiler.

Tallow-melter.

Tripe-boiler, or any other noxious or offensive trade, business or manufacture, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding fifty pounds for so doing, and any person carrying on a business so established shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding forty shillings for every day that such offence is continued.

NOTE.-By establishment of such offensive business is

meant not the mere erection of any building, but the actual beginning to work at such trade.

Any U. A. may make bye-laws with respect to any offensive trades in order to prevent or diminish any noxious or injurious effects thereof.

NOTE.—It is imperative on every U. A. to complain to a justice on being informed of the existence of such a nuisance by the M. O. H., or by any two legally qualified medical practitioners, or by any ten inhabitants of the district.

J. Unsound Meat.

Any M. O. H. or inspector of nuisances may at reasonable times inspect and examine any animal, carcase, meat, poultry, game, flesh, fish, fruit, vegetables, corn, bread, flour, or milk exposed for sale, or deposited in any place for the purpose of sale, or of preparation for sale, and intended for the food of man. And the onus probandi that such food icas not for the use of man rests on the party charged. And if any M. O. H. or sanitary inspector is of opinion that such food is diseased, unsound, unwholesome, or unfit for the use of man, he may seize and carry it away to have it dealt with by a justice.

NOTE.-The word "animal" includes a live animal.

What is a "reasonable time must depend on the circumstances of each case, for in some trades inspection demanded on Sunday has been held to be good. (Small v. Bickley, 32 L. T. (N. S.) 726.)

If a justice finds any food for man so seized unfit or unsound, he shall condemn the same and order it to be destroyed or so disposed of as to prevent it being exposed for sale, or used for the food of man. And the person found

guilty of this offence shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding twenty pounds, or at the discretion of the justice to imprisonment for not more than three months.

NOTE.-The condemnation need not be on the same day of seizure, but it is necessary that reasonable diligence be exercised to put the food alleged to be unfit for human consumption before the justice as soon as possible. And a person may have in his possession unsound food not for sale, but for the use of himself, his servants, or workpeople, and such possession will not justify a conviction under the above section of the Act. Any person hindering an officer in his inspection of meat is liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds.

A search warrant may be granted by a justice on complaint made on oath by a M. O. H., or an inspector of nuisances, or other officer of any L. A., with power to seize and remove unsound food for the use of man. And a penalty not exceeding twenty pounds may be inflicted on any person obstructing any officer acting under such a warrant.

K. Infectious Diseases.

It is imperative on every L. A. to cause premises to be cleansed and disinfected. And any L. A. may direct the destruction of any bedding, clothing or other articles which may have been exposed to infection from any dangerous, infectious disorder, and may give compensation for same.

Any L. A. may provide a proper place for disinfection, and may cause articles to be disinfected free of charge. Any L. A. may make provision for the suitable convey

ance to a hospital, or other place of destination, of persons suffering under any infectious disorder.

At the cost of the L. A., on a certificate signed by a legally qualified practitioner, an infected person may be removed to any suitable hospital or place within the district, who is without proper lodging, by order of any justice. And any person who wilfully obstructs or disobeys such order shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds.

NOTE.-The "place" required is not now restricted to within the district; it may be without the district, if within a convenient distance. Compulsory removal is provided for by sect. 126.

Every owner or driver of a public conveyance shall immediately provide for the disinfection of such conveyance after it has, to his knowledge, conveyed any person suffering from a dangerous, infectious disorder, and liability for not so doing is a penalty not exceeding five pounds.

NOTE. He need not convey any such person until he has been paid a sum sufficient to cover any loss incurred by him for disinfecting.

Any person who lets for hire any house, room, or part of a house in which any person has been suffering from any dangerous, infectious disorder, without having such house, room, or part of a house, and all articles therein liable to retain infection, disinfected to the satisfaction of a legally qualified practitioner, as testified by a certificate signed by him, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding twenty pounds.

NOTE.-The keeper of an inn shall be deemed to let for hire part of a house to any person admitted as a guest
