HOUSE TO HOUSE CHARITABLE COLLECTIONS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1952 - SECT 1

1.(1) Subject to the provisions of this Act, no collection for a
charitable purpose shall be made unless the requirements of this Act as to a
licence for the promotion of such collection are satisfied.

(2) If a person promotes a collection for a charitable purpose, and a
collection for that purpose is made in any locality pursuant to such
promotion, then, unless there is in force, throughout the period during which
the collection is made in that locality, a licence authorising him, or
authorising another person under whose authority he acts, to promote a
collection therein for that purpose, he shall be guilty of an offence.

(3) If a person acts as a collector in any locality for the purposes of a
collection for a charitable purpose, then, unless there is in force, at all
times when he so acts, a licence authorising a promoter under whose authority
he acts, or authorising the collector himself, to promote a collection therein
for that purpose, he shall be guilty of an offence.

(4) If the county inspector of police for the area comprising a locality in
which a collection for a charitable purpose is being or is proposed to be made
is satisfied that that purpose is local in character and that the collection
is likely to be completed within a short period of time, he may grant to the
person who appears to him to be principally concerned in the promotion of the
collection a certificate in the prescribed form, and, where a certificate is
so granted, the provisions of this Act, except the provisions of sections five
and six thereof and the provisions of section seven thereof in so far as they
relate to those sections, shall not apply, in relation to a collection made
for that purpose within such locality and within such period as may be
specified in the certificate, to the person to whom the certificate is granted
or to any person authorised by him to promote the collection or to act as a
collector for the purposes thereof.
