22.—(1) Every person carrying on a railway undertaking (in this Article referred to as “the authority”) shall provide, to the satisfaction of the Department, water and food or either of them at such railway stations as the Department directs, for animals or poultry carried or about to be or having been carried on the railway of the authority.
(2) The water and food so provided, or either of them, shall be supplied by the authority to any such animals or poultry on the request of the consignor or of any person in charge of them.
(3) Subject to paragraph (4), as regards water, if as respects any animal or bird such a request is not made, so that the animal or bird remains without a supply of water for twenty-four consecutive hours, the consignor and the person in charge of the animal or bird shall each be guilty of an offence against this Order; and it shall lie on the person charged to prove such a request and the time within which the animal or bird had a supply of water.
(4) The Department may by order substitute for the period of twenty-four hours mentioned in paragraph (3) such other period being not less than twelve hours as may be specified in the order.
(5) The authority supplying water or food under this Article may make such reasonable charges, if any, as the Department by order approves, in addition to such charges as they are for the time being authorised to make in respect of the carriage of animals or poultry; and the amount of those additional charges shall be a debt recoverable summarily by the authority from the consignor and from the consignee.
(6) The authority shall have a lien for the amount of the additional charges mentioned in paragraph (5) on the animal or bird in respect of which those charges accrued due, and on any other animal or bird at any time consigned by or to the same consignor or consignee to be carried by the authority.
