Shop Hours Acts and Seats for Shop Assistants
Act.—A special Inspector has been appointed to investigate or
discover infringements against these Acts.
During the year 32 persons were found to be employing young
persons beyond the limit of time allowed by the Act, and in 244 cases
no notice was exhibited in the shop as required by the Statute.
Four prosecutions were instituted against offenders, and fines of
£1 imposed in each case. The other infringements were dealt with
by letters of caution.
