570 APPENDICES 



22. — (i) If milk from a dairy situate within the City is being sold or suffered 

 to be sold or used within the City, the medical officer or any person provided 

 with, and if required, exhibiting the authority in writing of the medical officer, 

 may if accompanied by a properly qualified veterinary surgeon, at all reasonable 

 houi^, enter the dairy, and inspect the cows kept therein ; and if the medical 

 officer or such person has reason to suspect that any cow in the dairy is suffer- 

 ing from tuberculosis of the udder, he may require the cow to be milked in his 

 presence, and may take samples of the milk, and the milk from any particular teat 

 shall, if he so requires, be kept separate, and separate samples thereof be furnished. 



(2) If the medical officer is of opinion that tuberculosis is caused, or is likely 

 to be caused to persons residing in the City from consumption of the milk 

 supplied from a dairy situate within the City, or from any cow kept therein, he • 

 shall report thereon to the Corporation, and his report shall be accompanied by 

 any report furnished to him by the veterinary surgeon, and the Corporation may 

 thereupon serve on the dairyman notice to appear before them within such time, 

 not less than twenty-four hours as may be specified in the notice, to show cause 

 why an order should not be made, requiring him not to supply any milk from 

 such dairy within the City, until the order has been withdrawn by the 

 Corporation. 



(3) If the medical officer has reason to believe that milk from any dairy 

 situate outside the City from which milk is being sold or suffered to be sold, or 

 used within the City, is likely to cause tuberculosis in persons residing within 

 the City, the powers conferred by this section, may, in all respects, be exercised 

 in the case of such dairy, provided that the medical officer or other authorised 

 person shall first have obtained from a justice, having jurisdiction in the place 

 where the dairy is situate, an order authorising such entry and inspection, which 

 order any such justice is hereby empowered to make. 



(4) Every dairyman and the persons in his employment shall render such 

 reasonable assistance to the medical officer or such authorised person or veterin- 

 ary surgeon, as aforesaid, as may be required by such medical officer, person, 

 or veterinary surgeon, for all or any of the purposes of this section, and any 

 person refusing such assistance or obstructing such medical officer, person, or 

 veterinary surgeon in carrying out the purposes of this section, shall be liable to, 

 a penalty not exceeding £t,. 



(5) If in their opinion the dairyman fails to show cause why such an order 

 may not be made as aforesaid, the Corporation may make the said order, and 

 shall forthwith serve notice of the facts on the county council of any administra- 

 tive county in which the dairy is situate, and on the Local Government Board, 

 and if the dairy is situate outside the City, on the council of the borough or 

 country district in which it is situate. 



(6) The said order shall be forthwith withdrawn on the Corporation or their 

 medical officer, being satisfied that the milk supply has been changed, or that 

 it is not likely to cause tuberculosis to persons residing in the City. 



(7) If any person, after any such order has been made, supplies any milk 

 within the City in contravention of the order, or sells it for consumption therein, 

 he shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding ^5, and if the offence continues 

 to a further penalty not exceeding ^2 for every day during which the offence; 

 continues. 



(8) A dairyman shall not be liable to an action for breach of contract, if the 

 breach be due to an order under this section.
