Powers of Clerk of the Markets.
|
LXXIII. ‘And whereas Doubts have arisen respecting the Powers vested in the said Lord Mayor by right of his said Office of Clerk of the Markets of the Borough of Dublin, and it is expedient to remove the same:’ Be it therefore enacted, That it shall be lawful for the said Lord Mayor for the Time being, by virtue of such Office, from Time to Time to make such Bye Laws as he shall think fit for all or any of the following Purposes; that is to say,
|
| |
For Inspection of the Markets in the said Borough:
|
| |
For preventing Nuisances or Obstructions in the Market Places, or in the immediate Approaches thereto:
|
| |
For keeping the Markets in a cleanly and proper Stale, and for removing Filth and Refuse at least once in every Twenty-four Hours, and for requiring that they be provided with a sufficient Supply of Water, and preventing the Exercise of Cruelty therein:
|
| |
For preventing the Use of false or defective Weights, Seales, or Measures:
|
| |
For preventing the Sale or Exposure for Sale of unwholesome Provisions in the Markets, and for condemning and disposing of the same:
|
| |
For preventing Frauds in the Hay, Straw, and other public Markets in the said Borough, and for authorizing the seizing, detaining, inspecting, or weighing (for the Detection or Prevention of Frauds) any Hay, Straw, Goods, or Wares exposed for Sale in any of the said Markets, or the Carts, Carriages, or Vehicles whereon the same may be laden:
|
| |
And the said Lord Mayor may, from Time to Time as he shall think fit, repeal or alter any such Bye Laws; provided that such Bye Laws be not repugnant to the Laws of that Part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called Ireland, or the Provisions of this Act, or any Act incorporated therewith; and such Bye Laws shall be reduced into Writing, under the Hand and Seal of the said Lord Mayor; and the said Lord Mayor by the said Bye Laws may impose such reasonable Penalties as he shall think fit, not exceeding Five Pounds for each Breach of such Bye Laws; provided always, that such Bye Laws be so framed as to allow the Justices before whom any Penalty imposed thereby is sought to be recovered to order the whole or a Part only of such Penalty to be paid, or to remit the whole Penalty; and such Bye Laws shall be confirmed, printed and published, and received as Evidence, and be subject to the same Regulations in all respects as the Bye Laws by this Act authorized to be made by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the said Borough: Provided always, that all Penalties by this Act authorized or imposed relating to Markets shall be paid to the Guardians of the Poor of the Union in which the Offence shall have been committed.
