6.—Every person who for the purpose of depositing a body in the Mortuary uses a shell
which has not been provided by the Sanitary Authority, shall in every case where the body
is transferred from the shell before being carried from the premises to the place of burial,
cause the shell after the transfer of the body therefrom, and after such disinfection of the
said shell as the Medical Officer of Health may deem expedient, as soon as conveniently
may be, to be removed from the premises.
PENALTIES.
7.—Every person who shall offend against any of the foregoing By-laws shall be liable
for every such offence to a penalty of 40s., and in the case of a continuing offence to a
further penalty of 10s. for each day after written notice of the offence from the Sanitary
Authority. Provided nevertheless that the Justices or Court before whom any complaint
may be made or any proceedings may be taken in respect of any such offence, may if they
think fit adjudge the payment as a penalty of any less sum than the full amount of
the penalty imposed by this By-law.
