X. And be it enacted, That if after such Inquiry or further Inquiry as aforesaid it appear to the said General Board of Health to be expedient that this Act or any Part thereof should be applied to the City, Town, Borough, Parish, or Place with respect to which Inquiry has been made, upon the Petition of such Inhabitants as aforesaid, and within the same Boundaries as those of such City, Town, Borough, Parish, or Place, and within which there is no Local Act of Parliament in force for paving, lighting, (otherwise than for the Profit of Proprietors or Shareholders,) cleansing, watching, regulating, supplying with Water, or improving such City, Town, Borough, Parish, or Place, or any Part thereof, or in anywise relating to the Purposes of this Act, they shall report to Her Majesty accordingly; and at any Time after Presentation of such Report it shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by and with the Advice of Her Privy Council, to order that this Act or any Part thereof shall be applied to and be put in full Force and Operation within such City, Town, Borough, Parish, or Place; and if after such Inquiry or further Inquiry as aforesaid it appear to the said General Board to be expedient that this Act or any Part thereof should be put in force within Boundaries not being the same as those of the City, Town, Borough, Parish, or Place from which the said Petition proceeded, or within Boundaries where no Petition has been presented from such Inhabitants as aforesaid, or within any City, Town, Borough, Parish, or Place in which any such Local Act of Parliament as aforesaid is in force, they shall make a Provisional Order under their Hands and Seal of Office accordingly, with such Provisions, Regulations, Conditions, and Restrictions with respect to the Application and Execution of this Act or any Part thereof, and with respect to any such Local Act, and the Repeal, Alteration, Extension, or future Execution of the same, and in all respects whatsoever as they may think necessary under all the Circumstances of the Case; and such Provisional Order shall be published in the Parts to which the same relates in such Manner as the said General Board may direct, and shall be deposited with the Town Clerk of any Corporate Borough affected thereby, and with the Clerk to the Commissioners or Trustees acting under any such Local Act, also with the Clerk to the Justices acting for any Petty Sessional Division in which such Parts may be, and with the Clerk of the Board of Guardians of the Union or Parish the whole or Part of which may be affected thereby;

but no such Provisional Order shall have any Force or Effect, nor shall this Act or any Part thereof be applied in either of the Cases last aforesaid, except for the Purposes of such Inquiry, further Inquiry, Report, or Provisional Order, without the previous Authority of Parliament; and no such Provisional Order, or any altered or amended Order, shall be made with respect to any Local Act of Parliament under which any Waterworks Company is empowered to construct Waterworks or supply Water for their own Profit, without the Consent of the Waterworks Company empowered by such Local Act first had and obtained: Provided always, that, except for the Purposes of Main Sewerage, no Corporate Borough or any Part thereof shall be included in any District not exclusively consisting of the whole or Part of One such Borough without the previous Consent of the Council under the Common Seal of the Borough;

but nothing herein contained shall be construed to require such Petition in order to the Constitution of a District exclusively consisting of Parts not within the Boundaries of any such Borough, nor to hinder or prevent the Application of all or any of the Provisions of this Act to a District exclusively consisting of such last-mentioned Parts, although the same Parts, or any of them, may have been already included within a District for the Purposes of Main Sewerage.
