An Act for the preservation of Sheep in the Township of Newark.
Whereas the Legislature of this State by a Law passed on the thirteenth day of March Eighteen hundred and Six, did authorize the Inhabitants of the several Townships at their Annual Town Meetings to order to be levied, Assessed and Collected, such tax on Dogs, in addition to the Tax already imposed by Law-and to make such other by laws as a Majority of each Town Meeting may deem expedient for the protection of their Sheep.
Therefore Ist be it enacted by the Inhabitants of the Town- ship of Newark in the County of Essex, that the Assessors of this Township shall at the Time of Assessing the other taxes for

the use of the Township, County, or State, assess every Master or Mistress of any family in which a Dog or Dogs of six months old and upwards are kept whether by themselves or any Child, Servant or other person whomsoever, the following sums of money, viz : If only one Dog is kept by one family, One Dollar. If two Dogs are so kept, five dollars and for every Dog so kept above two, the further sum of twenty dollars, which Tax shall be construed to include the Tax heretofore authorized by law, and shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner in every respect, with the other Taxes raised in the Township, except that the Assessor and Collector shall be each intitled to six cents for every Dog returned in the Duplicate agreeably to this Act.
2d. And be it enacted that if any person shall deny that he or she have any property in any Dog so assessed in his or her name, or shall refuse to give a fair account of the number or age of the Dog or Dogs to remain about his or her house, he or she shall be deemed to be the owner of such Dog or Dogs and be liable to the payment of the Tax aforesaid, and moreover shall be liable to a fine of ten dollars for every Dog so harboured and not re- turned to the Assessor when by him required, to be recovered before any Justice of the peace in this Township by the Collector of the same, and to be applyed as is herein after directed.
3d. And be it enacted, that the amount of the said Tax after deducting the charges of Assessing and Collecting the same and all fines which shall be recovered by virtue of this Act, shall be appropriated, exclusively to making good any losses sustained by the Inhabitants of this Township by the destruction of their Sheep by Dogs where no legal remedy can otherwise be had for the same : and for this purpose, the ballance of this fund which may remain unappropriated in the hands of the Collector at the ex. piration of his office, shall be paid to his successor, or shall be placed at interest to form a permanent fund to be applyed exclu- sively to the object contemplated by this Act, at the discretion of the Township Committec.
4th. And be it enacted, that where any Inhabitant of this Township shall sustain damages by his or her Sheep being killed by Dogs, it shall be Lawful to call on two respectable freeholders of the Township who shall view the Sheep so killed, and if it shall appear to their satisfaction that the said Sheep were killed by a Dog or Dogs, and that the owner of such Dog or Dogs can- not be discovered, the said viewers shall make return in writing to a Justice of the peace of this Township of such their belief, together with the damages appraised by them on oath or affirma. tion, which said Justice shall under his hand direct the Collector of the Township to pay the amount out of the monies specially appropriated for this purpose, if he should have a sufficient sum

5th. And be it enacted, that it shall be lawful for any Inhab- itant of this Township who shall see any Dog chase, worry or wound his Sheep or Lambs, to kill such Dog; and if such person does not kill such Dog, and shall give notice thereof to the own- er or possessor of such Dog, If such owner or possessor shall not kill, or cause the Dog to be killed within forty eight hours after such notice, he or she shall forfeit the sum of thirty dollars; to be recovered before any Justice in the Township by the owner of said Sheep or Lambs, to his or her use, with cost of suit.
