Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 159 gives a Magistrate power to furnish written instructions to a person conducting a local investigation under section 158. It also addresses payment of the investigation expenses and permits the report to be read as evidence. This is the public-nuisance inquiry provision, rather than the separate provisions for making or enforcing the nuisance order.
