SECTION 320
Duties of fence viewers as to strays
Town (TWN) CHAPTER 62, ARTICLE 18
§ 320. Duties of fence viewers as to strays. The fence viewers shall
view the premises where damages are claimed to have been done, and they
may issue subpoenas, examine witnesses and take any competent evidence
of the facts and circumstances necessary to enable them to determine the
matter submitted to them, and shall determine any dispute that may arise
touching the sufficiency of any division fence around the premises where
such damage was done, and from where and how the beasts came upon the
lands of the person claiming such damages and charges; if they determine
that for any cause the claimants' lien is not enforceable, they shall so
certify, and the owner of the beasts shall thereupon be entitled to them
without paying any charges thereon.
