(3) The Council shall pay compensation to the
owner, lessee, and occupier of every slaughter-house who
may be injuriously affected by the exercise of the above

received by the Council in respect of the use of any
slaughter-house provided by them, or of any convenience
connected therewith, shall be regulated by byelaws to be
approved by the Local Government Board, and the

let at a weekly, monthly, or other rent such sum as
may be agreed upon by the Council and the renters.

Section 118. It shall not be lawful to blow or
inflate the carcase, or any part of the carcase, of any
animal slaughtered within, or brought within, the district,
and any person offending against this enactment or
exposing or depositing for sale within the district a
carcase blown or inflated, or any part thereof, shall be
liable to a penalty not exceeding 20s.
This section makes it illegal to inflate any carcase,
and very properly, as the air which is blown in may be
from a contaminated source.
