the infant, the name of the person receiving the infant, and the dwelling
within which the infant is being kept, and the name and address of the
person from whom the infant has been received.
(4) If a person who has undertaken the nursing and maintenance of any
such infant changes his residence, he shall within forty-eight hours thereof
give to the local authority notice in writing of the change, and, where the
residence to which he moves is situate in the district of another local
authority, he shall give to that local authority the like notice as respects
each infant in his care as he is by this section required to give on the first
reception of the infant.
(5) If any such infant dies or is removed from the care of the persen who
has undertaken its nursing and maintenance, that person shall, within fortyeight
hours thereof, give to the local authority notice in writing of the
death or removal, and in the latter case also of the name and address of
the person to whose care the infant has been transferred
(6) Where at the commencement of this Act any infant is under the care
of any person who has, before the commencement of this Act, undertaken
its nursing and maintenance under such circumstances that if its nursing
and maintenance had been undertaken after the commencement of this Act
he would have been required to give notice to the local authority under
this section, he shall, within one month after the commencement of this
Act, give to the local authority the like notice as if the nursing and maintenance
of the infant had been undertaken after the commencement of this
Act:

such notice as was required by the Infant Life Protection Act,
1897; or
(A) Shall exempt any person who ought to have given notice under
that Act from any liability which he may have incurred thereunder.
Subject as aforesaid, this part of this Act shall apply to an infant whose
nursing and maintenance has been undertaken for reward before the passing
of this Act in like manner as it applies to an infant whose nursing and
maintenance has been so undertaken after the commencement of this Act,
and as if any notice given under the Infant Life Protection Act, 1897, had
been a notice given under this Part of this Act.
(7) If any person required to give a notice under this section fails to give
the notice within the time specified for giving the notice, he shall be guilty
of an offence under this Part of this Act, and, if the infant in respect of
which notice ought to have been given was an infant the consideration for
whose nursing and maintenance consisted in whole or in part of a lump
sum, the person failing to give the notice shall, in addition to any other
penalty under this Part of this Act, be liable to forfeit that sum or such
less sum as the Court having cognizance of the case may deem just, and
