scribed any limit, stating the amount per tenement
(or lodging) independent of the number of rooms
comprising the same. In several districts no limit
rentals are prescribed, and it may be said in general
that there is no fixed practice with reference to the

1891.
The following Bye-law was finally adopted by
the Vestry in substitution for the existing Bye-law
No. 2, and is (at the time of writing) awaiting the
approval of the Local Government Board:—
(2.)—In any of the following cases a lodging house shall be
exempt from the operation of these Bye-Laws, that is to say:—
(a.)—Where the landlord himself resides on the premises and
sub-lets not more than one tenement in the house
occupied by him except the Sanitary Authority by
express order direct such house to be registered.
(b.) Where the rent or charge payable by each lodger occupying
not more than one room, and exclusive of any charge
for the use by such lodger of any furniture, is at the
rate of four shillings and sixpence per week, and upwards.
(c.)—Where the rent or charge payable by each lodger
occupying not more than one room, and inclusive of any
charge for the use by such lodger of any furniture, is at
the rate of six shillings per week, and upwards.
