the Port Sanitary Authority of the Port of London and the " Local Authority "
for the purposes of the " Public Health (Shellfish) Regulations, 1915," and is
hereinafter referred to as the Port of London Sanitary Authority :
And Whereas under the said Regulations the Port of London Sanitary
Authority received a Report from the Medical Officer of Health for the Port of
London Sanitary Authority, that the consumption of Shellfish brought from
certain layings situated within the district of the Port of London Sanitary
Authority is likely to cause danger to public health :
And Whereas the Port of London Sanitary Authority gave to the persons
interested in the public laying situated in the area hereinafter described notice
to appear before them on the 25th day of July last to shew cause why an Order
should not be made prohibiting, as the circumstances may require, the
distribution for sale for human consumption of Shellfish brought from the said
public laying situated in the area hereinafter described :
And Whereas the persons interested appeared on the 25th day of July
last before the Port of London Sanitary Authority, and in the opinion of the
Port of London Sanitary Authority sufficient cause is not shewn why an Order
should not be made as the circumstances require :
Now Therefore We, the Port Sanitary Authority of the Port of London,
by this our Order and in pursuance of the powers of the "Public Health
(Shellfish) Regulations, 1915," DO prohibit the distribution for sale for human
consumption of Shellfish brought from the public and private layings situated
