1. In this Bye-law the term "carriage" shall include every wheeled carriage whatever may be its form or construction, let to hire by the hour or day, or any less or greater period, for the conveyance of a passenger or passengers, but shall not include "hackney carriages," and "borough stage carriages," within the meaning of subdivision 1 of part 10 of the 13th Schedule of the said Act.

2. The Council may from time to time license to let for hire such carriages of any kind adapted for the carriage of persons as the Council shall see fit.

3. For every such license there shall be paid to the Council the sum of twenty shillings.

4. Before any such license is granted by the Council, an application for the same in the appointed form shall be made and signed by the owner, or one of the owners of the carriage in respect of which the license is applied for, and in every such application shall be truly stated the name and surname and place of abode of the person applying for such license, and of every owner of such carriage; and any person who states in such application the name of any person who is not an owner of the carriage in respect of which he applies, or willfully omits to specify truly in such application the name of any owner of such carriage shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds.

5. The Council shall cause an inspection to be made of the carriage to which the same shall relate, and shall not grant the license unless such carriage shall be found to be in fit and proper condition for the carriage of persons.

6. In every such license shall be specified the name and surname and place of abode of every owner of the carriage in respect of which the license is granted, and the name of the Corporation, and also the number of the license, but so that no two licenses granted hereunder by the Council shall bear the same number, together with such other particulars as the Council shall think fit.

7. Every such license shall be made out and signed by the Town Clerk, and shall be duly entered in a registry book to be provided for that purpose; and in such book shall be contained columns or places for entries to be made, which entries the Town Clerk is hereby required, having satisfied himself of the truth of the matter, to make, of every offence committed by the owner of such carriage; and any person may at any reasonable time inspect such book without fee or reward.

8. Every license shall remain in force only until the nineteenth day of April next after its issue.

9. So often as any person named in any such license as an owner of any such carriage changes his place of abode, he shall, within seven days next after such change, give notice thereof in writing, signed by him, to the Council, specifying in such notice his new place of abode; and he shall at the same time produce such license at the office of the Council, and the Town Clerk shall endorse thereon and sign a memorandum specifying the particulars of such change; and any person named in any such license as the owner of any such carriage who changes his place of abode and neglects or willfully omits to give notice of such change, or to produce such license in order that such memorandum as aforesaid may be endorsed thereon, within the time and in the manner herein directed, shall forfeit a sum not exceeding five pounds.

10. The owner of every licensed carriage shall cause to be painted or marked thereon, in some conspicuous part of the off side thereof, and to be so painted or marked, the name of the Corporation and the number of the carriage, corresponding with the number of the license, in white letters one inch in length on a black ground.

11. If any owner of any carriage lets the same out for hire without having a license in force in respect of such carriage from the Council, or without having the name and number aforesaid painted or marked on such carriage as aforesaid, every such person so offending shall forfeit a sum not exceeding five pounds.

Passed by the said Council this eighteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five.
