4. Every railway company shall, on or before the fifteenth day of February in every year, make a full and true return to the Board of Trade of the matters and in the forms specified in the First and Second Schedules annexed to this Act, and the notes annexed to such schedules shall be deemed to be part of this Act in the same manner as if they were enactments contained in the body thereof.

If any railway company makes default in making any return required by this Act, it shall incur a penalty not exceeding five pounds for every day during which such default continues, such penalty to be recovered in manner provided by the Summary Jurisdiction Acts, upon the complaint of any officer of the Board of Trade: Provided that the Board of Trade may in any case dispense with such return or any part thereof where they deem the same inapplicable.
