Sanitary Authority to any Justice having jurisdiction in the District, and
thereupon subsection (2) of Section twenty-eight of the Public Health Acts
Amendment Act, 1890, whether that subsection is or is not in force in the
District, and any provision in any Act of Parliament which applies to a
proceeding under or consequent upon that subsection, shall have effect in
relation to the proceedings, as if the application were a complaint within the
meaning of the said subsection, and otherwise subject to such modifications
and adaptions as are necessary to give effect to the following provisions,
that is to say :—
(i.) An order made by a Justice under the said subsection, as applied by
this sub-division, shall direct any foreign meat to be destroyed
by the Sanitary Authority under the supervision of the Medical
Officer of Health, if the Justice is satisfied that, in pursuance of
any Regulations made under the Public Health (Regulations as to
Food) Act, 1907, and in force for the time being, the removal of
the meat to a place of destination in England or Wales for any
purpose other than exportation has been forbidden, and that, on
the evidence adduced before him, there is an absence of proof that
the meat is not intended for sale for human consumption.
Where the Justice is satisfied, on the evidence adduced before
him, that it has been proved that the meat is not intended for sale
for human consumption, he shall make an order of dismissal of
the application. By that order the Justice shall direct that the
prohibition of the removal of the meat in pursuance of any such
Regulation as aforesaid shall cease to have effect.
(ii.) The Justice shall further set forth in the order that the description
of and such other details as will suffice to identify the particular
consignment of meat; together with the name, description, and
abode of the importer, and the name, description, and abode of the
person to whom the consignment of meat is to be delivered ; and
shall forthwith furnish the Sanitary Authority with a copy of the
order.
