Emigrant runner, any person, other than a licensed passage broker (see that title) or his clerk, who in any port or within five miles of it, for reward, solicits any intending emigrant on behalf of broker or owner or master of a ship, or any lodging-house keeper, or money changer, or other dealer for any purpose connected with the preparations or arrangements for a passage [(English) Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, s. 347]. Like a passage broker, the emigrant runner requires a license in a county borough of the borough council and in a county district [see (English) Local Government Act, 1894, s. 27 (d)] of the district council.
