amongst Sheep and Goats, of 15th September 1851.
§ 1.
In each county in which Scab prevails amongst sheep or goats, or where
there may be reason to fear that it may appear, on account of proximity to
those districts in which the disease occurs, the County Council concerned is
authorized to determine the regulations which may be deemed most suitable
to check the said disease, including therein provisions for isolating or slaughtering
the sick animals, provided such may be deemed necessary, but such regulations
shall not be valid unless sanctioned by the King.
§ 2.
Any person infringing the regulations issued in accordance with § 1, shall
be punishable by a fine of from 1, to 10 Specie Dollars, which shall be paid
over to the Poor-box of the district concerned.
§ 3 .
Cases concerning the infringement of such regulations as mentioned in § 2,
shall be dealt with by the Police Courts, unless the party concerned declares
himself willing to pay down the fine imposed on him by the Authorities. In
instances where such compromise has been effected, it shall be entered on the
Minutes of Proceedings of the Police Court, and the fines agreed to be paid,
when necessary, are to be recovered by distraint.
