SPECIAL ORDER by the Archhill Road Board, in accordance with Section 75 of “The Road Boards Act, 1882.”

RESOLVED, That the following by-laws be and are hereby made for the good government of this district, under the provisions of Part V. of “The Road Boards Act, 1882.”

Cattle at large.

1. If any cattle shall be found upon any land not being a common, and such that there is no fence, whether upon the same land or any other, dividing such first-mentioned land from the streets, whether public or private, of the aforesaid district, or any of them, without any person having charge of such cattle, the owner of such cattle shall forfeit a sum not exceeding 20s. for every head of such cattle; and the appointed officer of the afore-mentioned Board may seize such cattle, including goats and swine, and place the same at some neighbouring place of safe custody; and, if such owner be not known, upon proof of the issue of a summons in the usual form addressed to such owner as “owner” only, without describing him, such animal or animals and the place of seizure being described therein, being duly notified in the local newspapers, any Justice of the Peace may order the sale of such animals, and that all reasonable expenses be deducted from the proceeds.

Crossing over Footways and Channels.

2. Every person who wilfully and without lawful excuse rides or drives any horse or other animal, or drives or wheels any carriage, cart, or other vehicle upon, along, or across any footway or any water-channel or gutter herein called “channel” by the side of any street, save in each such case upon and by or at some crossing to be made as hereinafter mentioned, shall forfeit a sum not exceeding £5, and shall also pay to the Board such sum, not exceeding £10, by way of compensation for any damage done to the footway or channel, as the Justice adjudicating upon the information shall on the hearing thereof order.

Repair of Crossings.

3. If any crossing shall be out of repair, and the person liable hereunder to maintain or repair the same shall, for seven days after notice from the Board to that effect, neglect properly and completely to repair the same, he or she shall forfeit for every day that such crossing shall remain so unrepaired a sum of £2; and the Board may, if they see fit, effect such repair and recover the same from such person or persons before any Justice.

Deposit or Discharge of Rubbish, Liquid, &c., on Streets.

4. Every person who causes to run from any manufactory or any establishment for the boiling or preparing of any animal matter, or brewery, slaughterhouse, butcher’s shop, or any dunghill or other receptacle, or from any inn into or upon any street, public or private, or any footway or channel, and every occupier of any land or premises who causes or permits to run from such land or premises into or upon any such street, footway, or channel any offensive liquid or matter, shall, for every day during which any such nuisance remains after due notification thereof, forfeit a sum not exceeding £5.

Drain for the Discharge of Surface-water from Land, &c.

5. Every owner or occupier of land adjoining to or near any public thoroughfare where the surface- or storm-water overflows any footpath shall, within seven days next after notice being given, either written or verbal, by the Board to that effect, lay from such land a covered drain into the side-channel, or in default shall forfeit a sum of £1 for every week during which such person or persons shall make default.

I certify that the foregoing special order was duly passed at a meeting of the Archhill Road Board on the 10th day of December, 1883.
