Section 5 Consignments ex ship or quay
In the case of an article delivered or consigned direct from a ship or quay to a purchaser, the provisions of this section shall apply in lieu of the provisions of the last preceding section.
The seller of an article included in the first column of the First Schedule to this Act and so delivered or consigned shall as soon as practicable enter in a register kept by him in such form (if any) as may be prescribed the following particulars :—
the date of delivery or consignment to the purchaser, the place of delivery to the purchaser or other destination, and the quantity delivered or consigned;
any shipping or other mark on the article;
the particulars which by this Act are required to be contained in the statutory statement.
The seller of any such article shall be guilty of an offence against this Act—
if he fails to enter in his register any particular required by this section to be entered therein other than a particular required to be contained in the statutory statement; or
if any particular entered therein, other than a particular required to be contained in the statutory statement, is false in any material particular; or
if from the analysis of a sample of the article taken by an inspector in the prescribed manner on the quay or at the time of its delivery to the purchaser or during its transit to him it appears that any particular entered in the register, being a particular required to be contained in the statutory statement, is false to the prejudice of the purchaser, or that any particular required to be contained in the statutory statement is not entered in the register.
