approach to a dwelling house, except subject and according to the following
restrictions and provisions:

(1)They shall in each such case obtain the consent of the occupier (if any) of
such dwelling house, and if there is no occupier, then of the lessee entitled
to possession, and if there is none, then of the owner:

(2)The consent of an occupier shall be effective only during the continuance
of his occupation:

(3) On the termination of the occupation of any occupier the lessee or owner
entitled to possession, if he did not consent to the placing of the telegraph

removed:

(4)The [Post Office] shall remove the same accordingly within one month after
receiving such notice:

(5)If any question arises between a lessee or owner and the [Post Office] as
to such removal, or the time or mode thereof, the same shall be referred to
the determination in... Ireland of two justices..., which justices... may give
such directions as to such removal and the time and mode thereof as may seem
reasonable, and may impose on the [Post Office] for not carrying such
directions into effect such penalty not exceeding five pounds a day as may
seem just.
