Interpretation.
4. In this Order—
The Act of 1878 means The Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act,
1878.
Other terms have the same meaning as in the Act of 1878.
Revocation of former Order.
5. The Dairies, Cowsheds, and Milkshops Order of July, 1879, is
hereby revoked: Provided that nothing in this Order shall be deemed
to revive any Order of Council thereby revoked, or to invalidate or
make unlawful anything done before the commencement of this Order,
or interfere with the institution or prosecution of any proceeding in
respect of any offence committed against, or any penalty incurred
under, the said Order hereby revoked.
Registration of Dairymen and others.
6.—(1.) It shall not be lawful for any person to carry on in the
District of any Local Authority the trade of cowkeeper, dairyman, or
purveyor of milk unless he is registered as such therein in accordance
with this Article.
(2.) Every Local Authority shall keep a Register of persons from
time to time carrying on in their District the trade of cowkeepers,
dairymen, or purveyors of milk, and shall from time to time revise
and correct the Register.
(3.) The Local Authority shall register every such person, but the
fact of such registration shall not be deemed to authorise such person
to occupy as a dairy or cowshed any particular building, or in any
way preclude any proceedings being taken against such person for
non-compliance with or infringement of any of the provisions of this
Order or any Eegulation made thereunder.
(4.) The Local Authority shall from time to time give public
notice by advertisement in a newspaper circulating in their District,
and, if they think fit, by placards, hand-bills, or otherwise, of registration
being required, and of the mode of registration.
(5.) A person who carries on the trade of cowkeeper or dairyman
for the purpose only of making and selling butter or cheese or both,
and who does not carry on the trade of purveyor of milk, shall not, for
the purposes of registration, be deemed to be a person carrying on
the trade of cowkeeper or dairyman, and need not be registered.
