3. Every locomotive propelled by steam on any tramway in Ireland under the authority of this Act shall be worked according to the following rules and regulations; viz.,

1. The whistle of such locomotive shall not be sounded for any purpose whatever; nor shall the cylinder taps be opened within sight of any person riding, driving, leading, or in charge of a horse upon the road; nor shall the steam be allowed to attain a pressure such as to exceed the limit fixed by the safety-valve, so that no steam shall blow off when the locomotive is upon the tramway:
|
| |
2. Every person in charge of such locomotive shall provide two efficient lights, to be affixed conspicuously one at each side on the front of the same, between the hours of one hour after sunset and one hour before sunrise.

In the event of a non-compliance with any of the provisions of this section, the owner or owners of the locomotives shall, on summary conviction thereof before two justices, be liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds.
