   the license fee payable by persons licensed to slaughter
   great or small cattle shall be ten shillings per annum,

vertise notice as required by section 24 of the said

Renewal of license.
4. Every applicant for a renewal of a license shall
deposit an application, in writing, in the form given

main or district road used as a public road.

Slaughterhouses kept clean.
6. Every slaughterhouse shall be kept clean to the
satisfaction of the Inspector, who may at all times
give such directions concerning the cleansing thereof
as to him may seem needful. Any persons licensed

in every twenty-four hours.

Filth removed..

house or yard connected therewith at least once in

in their districts at least once every three months,
where practicable, and not later than the first week
in December in each year they shall furnish a report
in writing to the Resident Magistrate having juris-
diction in their district, stating generally the condi-
tion in which the slaughterhouses in their district
have been kept during the past year.

Fees for cattle slaughtered.
10. The fees payable to Inspectors from all persons
holding licenses under the said Act, or any Act
amending the same, shall be as follows: For every
head of small cattle killed for sale, the sum of one
farthing; and for every head of great cattle killed
for sale, the sum of one penny. Inspectors shall
dispose of all fees received according to any law for
the time being in force.

Persons licensed to furnish reports.
11. Every person licensed under the said Act shall,
with the report required to be forwarded under
section 26 of "The Slaughterhouses Act, 1877," also
send, together with the report to the Inspector, the
amount of fees due for all cattle slaughtered for sale.

All fees must be paid before renewal of license.
12. No license shall be renewed unless the Inspec-
tor reports to the Court to whom application has
been made for renewal that all fees due to the date
of sitting of the said Court have been paid by the
applicant for such renewal.

Licenses not to be transferred.
13. No license shall be transferred. In all cases
of change of ownership of any slaughterhouse during
the current year, the new owner shall make appli-
cation in manner provided for new licenses.

Fine for breach of by-law.

by-law a fine of not less than five shillings, nor
more than five pounds, shall be inflicted. All such
fines shall be recovered in a summary manner before
a Resident Magistrate or any two Justices of the
Peace having jurisdiction as provided by "The Jus-
tices of the Peace Act, 1866," or any Act amending
the same.

Wherever in this by-law the words "the said
Act" are used, they shall mean "The Slaughter-
houses Act, 1877," or any Act amending the same.
