wick, he shall, on conviction thereof in the Circuit Court for said Fred-
erick County be fined for the first offense not less than fifty dollars nor
more than two hundred dollars, and for each subsequent offense not less
than two hundred dollars, nor more than five hundred dollars, and on

as aforesaid, shall be deemed guilty of a violation of said section, and
upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more
than two hundred dollars for the first offense, and not less than two
hundred nor more than five hundred dollars for each subsequent offense,
one-half of said fine to be paid to the informer, the other half to the
