"inquiry into the subject of the notice, and take
"such action thereon as to that authority may seem
"proper for the purpose of enforcing the law.
"An Inspector under this Act may, for the purposes
"of this section, take with him into a factory or
"workshop a Medical Officer of Health, Inspector of
"Nuisances, or other officer of the Sanitary Authority."
In the Factory and Workshop Act of 1891 it
was extended to certain workshops and laundries,
and made more stringent, it being altered
as under:—
"Section 4 of the principal Act shall apply to
"workshops conducted on the system of not employing
"any child, young person, or women therein, and to
"laundries.
"Where notice of an act, neglect, or default is
"given by an Inspector under the said Section 4, as
"amended by this Act, to a Sanitary Authority, and
"proceedings are not taken within a reasonable time for
"punishing or remedying the act, neglect, or default,
"the Inspector may take the like proceedings for
"punishing or remedying the same as the Sanitary
"Authority might have taken, and shall be entitled to
"recover from the Sanitary Authority all such expenses
"in and about the proceedings as the Inspector incurs,
"and are not recovered from any other person, and havt
"not been incurred in any unsuccessful proceedings."
