§ 323. Damages from other personal property. When any person shall be
authorized to distrain inanimate goods or chattels doing damage, or
whenever any logs, timbers, boards or plank, in rafts or otherwise, or
other personal property shall have drifted upon his lands, he shall be
entitled to the same remedies and shall proceed therein in the same
manner and with the same powers as herein provided with respect to
beasts found doing damage, so far as such provisions are applicable. He
must deliver his notice of lien to the town clerk, describing the
property, within thirty days after it lodges upon his lands, and he
shall keep the same in some convenient place without removal to a pound
until the property is sold or reclaimed. The same officer shall conduct
proceedings therein as in proceedings where beasts are found doing
damage, and all proceeds of sale shall be, in like manner, paid over and
applied, subject to the same penalties and liabilities, and with the
same force and effect. The fee of the town clerk for filing and
recording such notices of lien shall be one dollar and the charges of
the land owner claiming such lien and delivering such notice to the town
clerk, pursuant to this section, shall be at the rate of five cents for
each such stray, but shall in no event exceed the sum of fifty dollars
upon any one lien. Any lien for logs, timber, boards or planks, in
rafts or otherwise, filed herein may be discharged in the manner
provided in sections nineteen and twenty of the lien law, with reference
to the discharge of mechanics' liens, so far as such provisions are
applicable.
