nished. The said certificate shall be in the Form B in the
Schedule hereto, and shall have attached thereto a copy of
these regulations.
7. The production in any legal proceedings of any such
certificate purporting to be signed by the Clerk as aforesaid
shall be prima facie evidence that the person described in
such certificate has been registered in accordance with these
regulations, without any further proof of the signature of the
said Clerk, or of the fact that the person purporting to act in
that capacity was validly appointed.
8. The Local Board shall from time to time give public
notice by advertisement in a newspaper circulating in the
district, and, if they think fit, by placard, handbills, or other-
wise, of registration being required, and of the mode of
registration.
9. A person who occupies or carries on business in or on
any premises for the purpose only of selling butter or cheese,
and who does not carry on the trade of milk-vendor, shall not
for the purposes of registration be deemed to be a person
carrying on the trade of dairyman or milk-vendor, and need
not by reason thereof be registered.
10. A person who sells milk of his own cows in small
quantities to his workmen shall not, for the purposes of
registration, be deemed by reason only of such selling to be a
person carrying on the trade of dairyman or milk-vendor, and
need not by reason thereof be registered.
11. Every dairyman shall keep a register, in which he shall
enter without delay particulars of all large cattle brought or
kept from time to time upon the dairy premises, and shall
also enter in such register particulars of the manner in which
such cattle are disposed of by him. Such register shall also
contain such particulars as are necessary to identify such
cattle individually, and shall also contain the names and
addresses of the persons from whom such cattle may have
been purchased or acquired, and of the persons to whom any
such cattle may be sold or disposed of.

Inspection of Cattle in Dairies.

12. The Inspector shall from time to time visit the cow-
    shed, and as far as possible the whole of the dairy premises,
    of each registered dairyman, for the purpose of inspecting the
    cattle milked, stalled, or kept there.
13. The Inspector shall, so far as possible, inspect each and
    every one of the cattle usually milked or stalled in such
    cowshed, or kept on such dairy premises, with a view to
    discovering whether or not any one of them is diseased or is
    in an unhealthy condition.
14. If the Inspector shall be of opinion that any one or
    more of the said cattle is or are diseased, or is or are in an
    unhealthy condition, the Inspector shall serve upon such
    dairyman a notice in writing, specifying or describing the
    cow or cows which is or are diseased or is or are in such un-
    healthy condition, and shall also, if in his opinion the state
    of the cattle or any of them is such as to warrant the course,
    certify in such notice that the sale of the milk from the
    dairy premises of such dairyman or from the specified cow
    or cows is likely to endanger the public health. Such notice
    shall be in the Form C in the Schedule hereto. A copy
    thereof shall be immediately transmitted to the Clerk.
15. After service of such notice upon the dairyman, and
    thenceforth until notification to him of the cancellation of
    the Inspector's certificate as hereinafter mentioned, the said
    dairyman—
    (a.) Shall not mix any milk from the said dairy premises
    or from the said cow or cows, as the case may be,
    with other milk ;
    (b.) Shall not sell or use for human food any such milk ;
    (c.) Shall not sell or use for the food of swine or other
    animals any such milk unless and until it shall
    have been boiled.
16. At any time after receipt of such notice as last men-
    tioned such dairyman may serve a notice on the Inspector—
    (a.) Stating that all the cattle on the said dairyman's
    dairy premises are free from disease or are in a
    healthy condition; or,
    (b.) Stating (if such be the case) that the said cattle
    have been inspected by a veterinary surgeon
    (whose name and address shall be set out in such
    notice), and that such veterinary surgeon is of
    opinion that the specified cattle are not diseased,
    or are not in an unhealthy condition, or as the
    case may be.
17. Upon receipt of such notice the Inspector shall with
    the least possible delay make a fresh inspection.
18. In case the dairyman's notice shall be to the effect
    stated in Regulation 16, (b), the Inspector shall be accom-
    panied by a veterinary surgeon, and they shall jointly inspect
    such cattle. The dairyman shall be notified by the Inspector
    of such proposed inspection at least twenty-four hours prior
    thereto, and he shall be entitled to attend such inspection
    with a veterinary surgeon, and confer as to the health and
    condition of the cattle. Within twenty-four hours after
    making such inspection the veterinary surgeon accompany-
    ing the Inspector shall notify him in writing whether any,
    and, if so, which, of the said cattle are suffering from any,
    and, if so, what, disease. Should the cattle be found to be
    diseased, the fee of the veterinary surgeon appointed by the
    Principal Board shall be paid by the owner of such cattle.
    A qualified veterinary surgeon, at a fixed scale of fees, may
    be appointed for all purposes of inspection under these regu-
    lations by the Principal Board; and in case of sickness or
    permitted absence at any time of the veterinary surgeon so
    appointed, the Mayor of the Principal Board may by writing
    under his hand temporarily appoint a duly-qualified substi-
    tute.
19. The decision of the veterinary surgeon appointed by the
    Principal Board shall be final, and, if his notice shall render
    it necessary, the Inspector shall serve upon the dairyman an
    amended notice in pursuance thereof.
20. At any time after receipt of such last-mentioned notice,
    such dairyman may notify the Inspector that the requisitions
    thereof have been complied with, and the Inspector shall
    thereupon make a further inspection. Provided always that
    the Inspector shall not be compellable to inspect any dairy
    premises more than three times in any one month or four
    times in any two months.
21. If and so soon as it shall be made to appear to the
    Inspector, from any inspection, or from any such notice of
    the veterinary surgeon accompanying him, that the requisi-
    tions (if any) which shall have been made have been com-
    plied with, or have from any cause whatever become undesir-
    able or unnecessary, and that the danger to the public health
    has ceased to exist, he shall thereupon cancel his certificate,
    and shall immediately transmit to the said dairyman a
    notice in writing to that effect signed by him. Such notice
    shall be in the form D in the Schedule hereto.

Construction, &c., and Water-supply of Dairies, Cowsheds, &c.

22. It shall not be lawful for any person following the
    trade of dairyman to begin to occupy as a dairy or cowshed
    any building not so occupied at the commencement of these
    regulations, except in compliance with the following pro-
    visions.
23. Every such person shall, either before or after the com-
    pletion of such new building, notify the Inspector in
    writing—
    (a.) His intention to occupy such building as a cow-
    shed or as a dairy ;
    (b.) The dimensions of such building, and the pro-
    visions made for lighting, ventilating, cleansing,
    and draining the same.
24. The Inspector shall, as soon as possible, but within one
    week of receipt of such notice, and either after or without
    inspecting the said building, if in his opinion the circum-
    stances so require, notify such person that the construction,
    or the use proposed to be made, or the contemplated occupa-
    tion of the building so constructed or proposed to be con-
    structed, is objectionable, as being contrary in some respect
    to some or one of these regulations, or conducive to an unsani-
    tary condition, or likely to endanger the public health. And
    the Inspector shall in such notice specify by what means the
    objection or objections to such building or such proposed use
    or occupation thereof may be removed or done away with.
25. If the Inspector shall notify the applicant in writing
    that the construction, or the use proposed to be made, or the
    contemplated occupation of the building so constructed,
    does not appear to be objectionable, or if the Inspector shall
    for one month fail or omit to give any notice under Regula-
    tion 24, the applicant shall be entitled to be registered
    in accordance with these regulations in respect of such
    building.
26. It shall not be lawful for any person to use or occupy
    such building unless and until he shall have complied with
    such notice (if any), and received a certificate under Regula-
    tion 6. Neither the failure or omission by the Inspector to
    give any notice, nor the giving of any such notice as is men-
    tioned in Regulation 25, shall be deemed to preclude any
    proceedings being taken against any such person under these
    regulations or otherwise in respect of such buildings, or the
    use or occupation thereof.
27. It shall not be lawful for any person following the
    trade of dairyman to occupy or use as a dairy or cowshed
    any building, whether so occupied or used at the commence-
    ment of these regulations or not, if and so long as the con-
    struction, lighting, and ventilation, including air-space, and
    the cleansing, drainage, and water-supply thereof, are not in
    conformity with the requirements of these regulations.
    (a.) In every cowshed the available air-space for each
    milking-bail, or for each cow, ox, bull, or calf
    stalled there, as the case may be, shall be not less
    than 450 cubic feet, except in the case of cattle
    stalled all night, when the space shall be not less
    than 500 cubic feet.
    (b.) The ground-space of every such cowshed, including
    the stalls, shall be floored to the satisfaction of the
    Inspector, and shall be constructed with open
