§ (1) If in any proceedings for the recovery of a fine under this Act any question is raised as to the corresponding price of any coal (including any question as to the cost of railway or other incidental services), the Court shall refer the question for determination by the Board of Trade, and the decision of the Board shall be final and conclusive for all purposes.
§ (2) If for any reason there are not adequate data at any coal mine from which to ascertain, in accordance with the 1883 foregoing provisions of this Act, the corresponding price at that mine, the Board of Trade may fix that price having regard to data afforded from sales of coal at other mines.
§ (3) The Board of Trade may require the owner of any coal mine to furnish such information as appears to them necessary for the purpose of carrying into effect this Act; and if any person refuses to furnish any such information when so required, or furnishes information which is false in any material particular, he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding one hundred pounds.
§ (4) The Board of Trade Arbitrations, etc., Act, 1874, shall apply as if this Act were a special Act within the meaning of the first-mentioned Act.
