Any owner, hirer, or driver thereof using, or permitting to be used, any such wagon, dray, or other vehicle, after verbal or written notice that the tires are worn as aforesaid has been given to either the one or the other of them by such person acting under the authority of the Council as aforesaid, shall be liable, on conviction, to forfeit and pay a sum of not more than £5 for each day or part of a day on which the wagon, dray, or other vehicle is used contrary to the intent and meaning of this by-law.
