CONSPIRACY AND PROTECTION OF PROPERTY ACT 1875 - SECT 4

Breach of contract by persons employed in supply of gas or water.

4. Where a person employed by a municipal authority or by any company or
contractor upon whom is imposed by Act of Parliament the duty, or who have
otherwise assumed the duty of supplying any city, borough, town or place, or
any part thereof, with gas or water, wilfully and maliciously breaks a
contract of service with that authority or company or contractor, knowing or
having reasonable cause to believe that the probable consequences of his so
doing, either alone or in combination with others, will be to deprive the
inhabitants of that city, borough, town, place, or part, wholly or to a great
extent of their supply of gas or water, he shall on conviction thereof by a
court of summary jurisdiction, or on indictment as herein-after mentioned, be
liable either to pay a penalty not exceeding twenty pounds or to be imprisoned
for a term not exceeding three months,....

Every such municipal authority, company, or contractor as is mentioned in this
section shall cause to be posted up, at the gasworks or waterworks, as the
case may be, belonging to such authority or company or contractor, a printed
copy of this section in some conspicuous place where the same may be
conveniently read by the persons employed, and as often as such copy becomes
defaced, obliterated or destroyed, shall cause it to be renewed with all
reasonable despatch.

If any municipal authority or company or contractor make default in complying
with the provisions of this section in relation to such notice as aforesaid,
they or he shall incur on summary conviction a penalty not exceeding five
pounds for every day during which such default continues, and every person who
unlawfully injures, defaces, or covers up any notice so posted up as aforesaid
in pursuance of this Act, shall be liable on summary conviction to a penalty
not exceeding [#2].
