Every licence under this Ordinance shall have effect from the date of the granting thereof till the close of the thirty-first day of December of the year in which any such licence may have been granted. Whenever an Order suspending a licence is made, the licence shall cease to be of any effect during the term of suspension, and whenever the licence is revoked the licence shall cease to have any effect whatsoever. 10. Every auctioneer shall, on the requisition of the owner thereof, accept the sale of all property which may be supplied to him for sale at the place in which he carries on his ordinary business as an auctioneer, and shall sell the same within such time as the owner may require, or as soon thereafter as possible, having regard to the sale of other property with which he has been entrusted: Provided that he shall not be bound to sell such property sooner than seven days after he shall have accepted the sale thereof. Nothing herein shall be held to restrict any auctioneer from selling at the same sale the property of more than one owner, so as the goods are lotted consecutively and in such manner that no owner's goods may become mixed with the goods of any other owner. 11.
