ESTRAYS.
No stray, except horses and mules, shall be taken up by any person not a resident of the town in which it is found ; nor unless it is found upon land owned or occupied by him. Every finder for a stray must notify the owner, if he is known, within seven days, and request him to pay all reasonable charges and take the stray away. If the owner is not known, he must file a notice with the town clerk within ten days, who shall transmit a copy thereof to the county clerk.
If the stray is not worth $5, the finder shall post a copy of such notice in two public places in such town ; if it exceed |5 in value, he shall publish such notice four successive weeks, either in some newspaper published in the county or in an adjoining county, if one be published nearer his residence than any pub¬ lished in his county ; but if no newspaper is published within twenty miles of his residence, then he must post such notice in three public places in his county. Such notice shall describe the stray by giving its marks, natural or arti¬ ficial, as near as possible, the name and resi¬ dence of the finder, specifying the section and town, and the time when such stray was taken up. For neglect to post up or publish as re¬ quired, the finder shall be liable to double the amount of damages sustained by the owner. For neglect to post or publish for one year, the finder shall be liable for its full value, to be recovered in the name of the town, and the amount recovered to be added to the school fund of such town.
The finder shall, within one month, cause the stray to be appraised by a justice of the peace, and a certificate of such appraisal signed by such justice filed in the town clerk's office. The ^xi^ex shall pay the justice fifty cents for such certificate, and ten cents per mile for each mile necessarily traveled to make the same.
The owner may have the same restored to him any time within one year after such notice is filed in the town clerk's office, by proving that the stray belongs to him, and paying all lawful charges incurred infrelation to the same. If the owner and finder cannot agree as to the charges, either party, on notice to the other, may apply to a justice of such town to settle the same, who, for that purpose,|^may examine witnesses upon oath, and the amount found due, with the costs, shall be a lien upon such stray. If no owner applies for the return of such^ stray, as J provided, and the same is not worth more than $10, it^[ shall |^become the absolute property of such finder ; but if the ap¬ praisal shall exceed $10, it shall^be sold at pub¬ lic auction by the sheriff or any^con stable of the county, on the request of the finder, and he shall be entitled to one half the proceeds, and the other half shall be paid to the treasurer of the town within ten days. If the finder shall neglect or refuse to cause such sale, he shall pay to the town the value of such stray, to be recovered by the town.
If any person, without the consent of the owner, shall take away such stray, without'first paying the lawful charges, he shall be liable to the finder for the value of such stray. If the finder shall neglect to do any act prescribed above, he shall be precluded from acquiring any right in such stray, and from receiving any charges or expenses relative thereto.
FENCES.
The overseers of highways in their respective towns, the aldermen of cities in their respective wards, and the trustees of villages in their re¬ spective villages, shall be fence viewers, and in towns having less than three road districts, the supervisors shall be fence viewers.
All fences four and a half feet high, and in good repair, consisting of rails, timber, boards or stone walls, or any combination thereof, and all brooks, rivers, ponds, creeks, ditches and hedges or other things which shall be considered equivalent thereto, in the judg-
