feet of his house, and if he conformed to the old bye-law with respect to this
distance, he is not affected by the new. The number of young pigs that his one
or two sows may produce is not limited by the bye-law, and it is a matter
of common knowledge that most people who breed pigs for profit sell the
young ones before they reach the age of three months.
The following is the full text of the new bye-laws regulating the keeping
of pigs:—
1. The occupier of any premises shall not keep more than three
swine, the age of each of which exceeds twelve weeks, within a
distance of 180 feet from any two or more dwelling houses not being
within the same curtilage as such premises.
2. Every person who shall offend against the foregoing bye-law
shall be liable for every such offence to a penalty of Five Pounds, and
in the case of a continuing offence to a further penalty of Twenty
Shillings for each day after written notice of the offence from the
Urban District Council of Heston and Isleworth.
Provided nevertheless that the Justices or Court before whom
any complaint may be made, or any proceedings may be taken in
respect of such offence, may, if they think fit, adjudge the payment as
a penalty of any sum less than the full amount of the penalty imposed
by this bye-law.
3. These bye-laws shall come into operation at the expiration of
six calendar months from the date of their confirmation by the Local
Government Board.
