18. In every case where, in pursuance of any statutory provision in that behalf,
an order of a justice has been obtained for the removal from a lodging-house to a
hospital of a person who is suffering from any dangerous infectious disease and is
without proper lodging or accommodation, the landlord of such house, and the lodger
to whom any room whereof such person may be an occupant has been let shall, on
being informed of such order, forthwith take all such steps as may be requisite on the
part of such landlord and of such lodger respectively, to secure the safe and prompt
removal of such person in compliance with such order, and shall in and about such
removal, adopt all such precautions as, in accordance with any instructions which
such landlord and such lodger, respectively may receive from the Medical Officer of
Health of the Sanitary Authority, may be most suitable for the circumstances of the
case.
Penalties.
19. Every person who shall offend against any of 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 of
the penalty imposed by this bye-law.
Repeal.
20. From and after the date of the confirmation of these bye-laws, the regulations
relating to houses let in lodgings, which were confirmed on the 20th day of
November, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty-four by the Local
Government Board, shall be repealed.
The Vestry have made bye-laws (a) for the prevention of nuisances arising from
any snow, ice, salt, dust, ashes, rubbish, offal, carrion, fish, or filth, or other matter
or thing; and (b) for preventing nuisances arising from any offensive matter running
out of any manufactory, brewery, slaughter-house, knacker's yard, butcher's or fishmonger's
shop, or dunghill, into any uncovered place, whether or not surrounded by
a wall or fence; and (c) for the prevention of the keeping of animals on any
premises in such place or manner as to be a nuisance or injurious to health; and (d)
as to the paving of yards and open spaces in connection with dwelling-houses,
(sec. 16). Also for the keeping of water-closets supplied with sufficient water for their
effective action (sec. 39 [2]), and for securing the cleanliness and freedom from
pollution of tanks, cisterns and other receptacles used for storing of water used or
likely to be used by man for drinking or domestic purposes, or for manufacturing
drinks for the use of man (sec. 50). These were submitted to the Local Government
Board for their approval in November.
