words:—
"That all furnaces employed in the working of engines
shall be constructed so as to prevent or consume their own
Thoke and if any person shall use any furnace which shall

hot be so constructed, or shall negligently use any such fur-
bace without using the best practical means for preventing or
counteracting such annoyance, every such person so offend-
ing' shall forfeit a sum not exceeding .e 5 for every day during
Which such furnace or annoyance shall beused and continued
after one month's notice. . .

ipements of this Clause, to the best of their ability ai
