    Places under the Pbulic Health and Local Government Acts. “ The Local Government Act, 1858,” (s. 45), incorpo- rates the 125th and following sections of the Towns Im- provement Act (10 & 11 Viet. c. 34), nnder which the local board may license slaughter-houses and knackers’ yards, and make bye-laws for regulating the same, and impose penalties for violating them. And any person who uses a place for such purposes, without a licence, is liable to a penalty not exceeding 5Z., and a like penalty for every day after conviction, upon which the offence is continued. And the justices before whom persons are convicted for killing or dressing cattle, contrary to the Act, or breaking the bye-laws, may, in addition to the penalty suspend the licence, or, on a further offence, re- voke it (s. 129). By the “ Public Health Act, 1848,” the business of a blood-boiler, bone-boiler, fellmonger, slaughterer of cattle, horses, or animals of any description, soap-boiler, tallow-melter, tripe boiler, or other noxious or offensive business, trade, or manufacture, is not to be newly esta- blished without the consent of the local board, under a penalty of 50Z., and a further penalty of 40s. per day during which the offence is continued, and the local board may make bye-laws with respect to newly esta- blished businesses of that nature, in order to prevent or diminish the noxious effects (s. 64), Provided that nothing in the Act should render lawful anything that but for the Act would be deemed a nuisance
