Commissioners empowered to recall Dublin Plates for the Purpose of being changed.
|
XXII. Whenever, in the Opinion of the said Commissioners, it shall be expedient to recall any Dublin Plate, for the Purpose of changing the same for any other Dublin Plate bearing the same or a different Number, the said Commissioners shall cause Notice to be given to the Person or to any One of the Persons to whom the Licence relating to such Plate shall have been granted, signifying that the said Commissioners do thereby recall such Plate; and the Person or Persons to whom such Licence shall have been granted shall, within One Week after such Notice, deliver up such Plate, and produce the Licence relating to the same, to the said Commissioners, or to their Officer appointed to issue Licences and Plates, and also apply to the said Commissioners for a new Plate, and thereupon the said Commissioners or such Officer shall deliver to the Person so applying for the same, at the Expense of the Applicant, a new Dublin Plate, in lieu of the Plate so recalled; and if any new Plate issued under the Provisions of this Act shall bear a Number different from the Number mentioned in the Licence belonging thereto, the said Commissioners or such Officer as aforesaid shall endorse upon such Licence a Memorandum of the granting of such new Plate, with the Number thereof, and from thenceforth such Licence shall be deemed to relate to such new Plate, in the same Manner as if the Number thereof had been originally inserted in the Body of such Licence; and if any Person shall not within One Week after Notice given to him in the Manner herein directed, deliver up the Plate mentioned in such Notice according to the Terms thereof, and produce the Licence relating to such Plate, and apply for a new Plate, and fix such new Plate upon his Carriage or Cart, as the Case may be, in such Place and Manner as the said Commissioners shall direct, he shall forfeit a Sum not exceeding Forty Shillings; and it shall be lawful for the said Commissioners, if they shall think proper, to revoke the Licence to which such Plate shall relate: Provided always, that if it shall appear to the said Commissioners that the Number upon such Plate so delivered up as aforesaid shall have been wilfully obliterated or rendered illegible by any other Means than by regular and proper Use and Wear thereof, it shall be lawful for the said Commissioners to refuse to deliver any Plate in lieu of the plate so surrendered and delivered up as aforesaid, unless the Person applying for the same shall also surrender and deliver up the Licence relating to such surrendered Plate, and shall take out and pay for a new Licence relating to the Plate to be delivered in lieu thereof.
