Sub-Sec. 5. The said Commissioners may make
such by-laws or ordinances for the regulation, good
government, improvement and comfort of said
town and the inhabitants thereof, to restrain dis-
orders and disturbances, and prevent and remove
all nuisances within said town as to them or a ma-
jority of them may seem proper, not inconsistent
with the laws of this State, and may enforce the
observance thereof, under such penalties, fines and
forfeitures as they shall deem proper, not exceeding
five dollars for any one offence, and all such fines,
penalties and forfeitures may be recovered before a
justice of the peace, by warrant, judgment and
commitment to the public jail of Worcester County
in the same manner that commitments are made
for fines imposed by the Circuit Court of this State
on conviction for misdemeanor, but the said Com-
missioners or a majority of them shall have power
at any time to remit or release the said fines, pen-
alties and forfeitures and costs, or any part thereof,
at their discretion ; but any party who shall be
fined or subjected to any penalty or forfeiture may
within five days after the same shall be imposed
and judgment recovered, supercede or stay the
same for thirty days, by giving ample personal
security to the Justice of the Peace, and the said
fines, penalties and forfeitures, shall thereafter be
collected as small debts are now collected, before
a Justice of the Peace.
