TRUCK AMENDMENT ACT 1887 - SECT 10

Artificer to be paid in cash and not by way of barter for articles made by him.

10. Where articles are made by a person at his own home, or otherwise, without
the employment of any person under him except a member of his own family, the
principal Act and this Act shall apply as if he were a workman, and the
shopkeeper, dealer, trader, or other person buying the articles in the way of
trade were his employer, and the provisions of this Act with respect to the
payment of wages shall apply as if the price of an article were wages earned
during the seven days next preceding the date at which any article is received
from the workman by the employer.

This section shall apply only to articles under the value of five pounds
knitted or otherwise manufactured of wool, worsted, yarn, stuff, jersey,
linen, fustian, cloth, serge, cotton, leather, fur, hemp, flax, mohair, or
silk, or of any combination thereof, or made or prepared of bone, thread,
silk, or cotton lace, or of lace made of any mixed materials. Where it is made
to appear to Her Majesty the Queen in Council that, in the interests of
persons making articles to which this section applies in any county or place
in the United Kingdom, it is expedient so to do, it shall be lawful for Her
Majesty, by Order in Council, to suspend the operation of this section in such
county or place, and the same shall accordingly be suspended, either wholly or
in part and either with or without any limitations or exceptions, according as
is provided by the Order.
