MILITARY LANDS ACT 1892 - SECT 17

Notice and enforcement of byelaws.

17.(1) A Secretary of State, before making any byelaws under this Act, shall
cause the proposed byelaws to be made known in the locality, and give an
opportunity for objections being made to the same, and shall receive and
consider all objections made; and when any such byelaws are made, shall cause
the boundaries of the area to which the byelaws apply to be marked, and the
byelaws to be published, in such manner as appears to him necessary to make
them known to all persons in the locality; and shall provide for copies of the
byelaws being sold at the price of [5p] for each copy to any person who
desires to obtain the same.

(2) If any person commits an offence against any byelaw under this Act, he
shall be liable, on conviction before a court of summary jurisdiction, to a
fine not exceeding [twenty pounds], and may be removed by any constable or
officer authorised in manner provided by the byelaw from the area, whether
land or water, to which the byelaw applies, and taken into custody without
warrant, and brought before a court of summary jurisdiction to be dealt with
according to law, and any vehicle, animal, vessel, or thing found in the area
in contravention of any byelaw, may be removed by any constable or such
officer as aforesaid, and on due proof of such contravention, be declared by a
court of summary jurisdiction to be forfeited to Her Majesty.

(3) A byelaw under this Act shall be deemed to be a regulation within the
meaning of the Documentary Evidence Act, 1868, and may be proved accordingly.
