requisitions, rules, and orders, as aforesaid: 2) that--on the
certificate of a duly authorised medical officer, that the condition
of any house or room is such as to render probable the rise or the
spread of infectious and dangerous disease among its inmates, the
Local Board may cause the owner or lessee of such house to be summoned
before a magistrate; who, after due hearing, or in default of the
owner’s or lessee’s appearance, may order the house, or any part of
it, to be evacuated of all tenants within such time as he shall judge
fit, and not again to be tenanted till after licence from the Local
Board given on the certificate of their medical officer that its
causes of unhealthiness are abated; and the magistrate may enforce
penalties for non-compliance with his order, as aforesaid: 3)
that--after an Order in Council bringing into action the extraordinary
clauses of the Nuisances Removal Act, the Local Board, on receiving
the certificate of their medical officer that any house, or part of
house, is in such condition as to be imminently dangerous to the lives
of its inmates in respect of the prevailing epidemic, or any similar
disease, may issue a peremptory order for its evacuation, and may
recover, from the owner or lessee to whom such order is addressed,
penalties for every day during which, or part of which, after such
order, the house, or any part thereof, continues to be tenanted; nor,
under like penalties, shall it be lawful, except after written licence
from the Local Board, given as aforesaid, to allow such house to be
re-occupied.
