Passed Jan. 8, 1803. |
WHEREAS it hath been represented to this general
assembly,
that settlers near the precincts of the city of Baltimore have lately
been much annoyed by the deposit of carrion, and carcases of dead
animals, in the open air near the public roads, and the dwellings of
persons near the precincts, and that by the maintenance of a pack
of hounds in a thickly settled neighbourhood, near the said precincts,
such neighbourhood is greatly injured and disturbed; therefore, |
Preamble. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
from and after the first day of March next, no person or persons
shall hale, cart, carry, drag or deposit, any dead carcase, or other
carrion, in Baltimore county, within one mile of the city of Baltimore,
unless he or they shall bury, or cause the same to be buried,
in such manner, at least two feet under ground, and so as effectually
to prevent any offensive smell therefrom, under the penalty of
twenty dollars for each and every such offence, together with the
expense of burying or removing the same. |
