STOCK TRESPASS FEES.
At Alonday night’s Council meeting the borough ranger, under instructions from a previous meeting, forwarded the following explanation re the impounding of stock and the imposition of trespass fees on same. The ranger explained that “under the provision of the Impounding Act ’any occupier of land that- is fenced off from the roadway may impound any stock trespassing thereon. In the case in point, an application was made to me to impound two cows trespassing on private property, and I duly impounded them, imposing the trespass fee of Is each, to become the property of the ranger. But in this instance the owner asked for the trespass money, and received it. The intention of imposing the trespass fee by the. ranger in the circumstances is purely at the wish of the occupier of the land, and shoud be paid to him by the poundkeeper in the absence of instructions by the occupier to pay it to someone else.”
The Council decided that in all cases of stock impounded by the ranger off private property, any trespass fees imposed shall be paid only to the owner of the said property, on application to the poundkeeper.
