3. Every person who shall offend against the foregoing bye-laws 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 forty shillings for each
day after written notice of the offence from the Sanitary Authority.
Provided, nevertheless, that the justices or court before whom any
complaint may be made, or any proceedings may be taken in respect of
any such offence, may, if they think fit, adjudge the payment as a penalty
of any sum less than the full amount or the penalty imposed by this
bye-law.
