A Registrar, upon registering any still-birth or upon receiving a written certificate or a written declaration concerning a still-birth as provided by this Act, shall forthwith, if requested so to do, give, without fee or reward, to the person giving information concerning the still-birth a certificate under that person’s hand in the prescribed form that that Registrar has registered or received notice of the still-birth as the case may be.
A person who has control over or ordinarily buries bodies in any burial ground may not permit to be buried or bury in such burial ground any still-born child before there is delivered to that person a Registrar’s certificate as provided under subsection (1) or an order for burial under section 32. Whoever contravenes subsection (1) is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine of fifty dollars.
