69 Power of undertakers to enter and inspect the working of mines, after giving notice

For the better ascertaining whether any such mines are being worked or have been worked so as to damage the said works, the undertakers may, after giving twenty-four hours' notice in writing, enter upon any lands through or near which the works are situated, and wherein any such mines are being worked or are supposed so to be, and may enter into and return from any such mines or the works connected therewith, and they may, for that purpose, make use of any apparatus or machinery belonging to the owner, lessee, or occupier of the mines, and use all necessary means for discovering the distance from the works to the parts of the mines which are being worked or about to be worked.
