lodging-house is situate, or their Medical Officer of Health or
other person authorised, shall cause the person and clothing of the
lodger to be forthwith cleansed in suitable premises, and may for
that purpose enter any common lodging-house, and may, if
necessary, without any warrant other than this Act, convey to any
such premises and there detain such inmate until such cleansing is
effected.
If the Sanitary Authority fails to put in force within seven
days after failure of the lodger to comply with the Medical Officer's
notice these provisions, the London County Council may cleanse the
person and clothing of the lodger and recover the expenses incurred
from the Sanitary Authority in default.
The same remarks apply to the proposal of the London
County Council respecting the cleansing of filthy and
verminous lodgers of common lodging-houses. But in this
case the lodger should be summoned.
