Every such special licence shall specify the time and place where such animal may be slaughtered and shall be issued subject to the following conditions: —

In respect of every animal slaughtered under such special licence such fee shall be taken as is prescribed, not exceeding ten times the fee payable in respect of such animal if it had been slaughtered at a slaughter-house.

The Health Officer before issuing any such licence may require such reasonable assurance as he thinks fit that the conditions thereof will be fulfilled.
