(f) See n. (b), supra. (9) This sub-section is loosely worded. There is no Act entitled the Factory and Workshop Act, 1867. It is sufficiently obvious, however, that the officers intended were the inspectors and sub-inspectors of factories, and the officers of the local authority. But inasmuch as these latter have now no jurisdiction under the Workshop Acts, it is the inspectors and sub-inspectors alone, who must be taken to be here referred to.

Construction of Act [21st August, 1871.] WHEREAS it is expedient to provide for the enforcement of the Workshop Regulation Act, 1867, by inspectors of factories, and to amend the Acts relating to factories and workshops: Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows: I. This Act may be cited as "The Factory and Workshop Act, 1871.” II. This Act and the Workshop Regulation 30 & 31 Vict. Act, 1867, and the Factory and Workshop Act, 33 & 34 Vict. 1870, and the Act of the present session, chapter nineteen, intituled "An Act for exempting per c. 146. c. 62. (a) This Act does not enlarge the scope of the Factory and Workshop Acts, but puts the duty of e:.forcing the latter upon the inspectors and sub-inspectors of factories instead of the local authorities. It also introduces a general prohibition with regard to the age of children and females allowed to be employed in the manufac ture of bricks and tiles, not being ornamental tiles (which manufacture was excepted from the provisions of the Factory Acts Extension Act, 1864; 27 & 28 Vict. c. 48, 1st sch., ante). The Act, moreover, substitutes the procedure under 11 & 12 Vict. c. 43 ("Jervis's Act"), for that which had been provided under the previous Factory Acts; and makes some few other alterations. |
