Local
Management Acts authorizing the Board to borrow money, or
any commissioners or persons to lend money to the Board, and
all other provisions as to the mode of borrowing, the
repayment of principal or interest, or in anywise relating
to borrowing by the Board, shall be deemed to apply and to
extend to this Act in the same manner as if the monies
borrowed in pursuance of this Act were monies borrowed for
the purpose of defraying the expenses of the Metropolis
Local Management Acts, or one or more of those acts. The
Board shall apply the monies received by them under this Act
in liquidation of the principal and interest of the monies
so borrowed, but no creditor shall be concerned to see to
such application, or be liable for any misapplication of the
monies received or borrowed by the Board in pursuance of
this Act.

notice to have been given, by warrant under his hand to
order any constable to enter into the house or building
occupied by such discharged chief officer or other person as
aforesaid, and to remove him and his family and servants

to the Board, as effectually, to all intents and purposes,

such house or building is situate might lawfully do by
virtue of a writ of possession or a judgment at law.
23. If the chimney of any house or other building within the
metropolis is on fire, the occupier of such house or
building shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding twenty

any other person, he may recover summarily from such person
the whole or any part of the penalty he may have incurred as
occupier.
