194. When the lands of any two person adjoin, each of them shall
make and maintain one-half of the whole length of the line of fence be-
tween them, and if either of said persons shall fail or neglect to make his
proportion of said fence, or to keep or put the same in good repair with-
in sixty days after he shall have been notified and requested to do so in
writing, then the party making said request may make or repair said
fence at the expense of the party so neglecting or refusing, to be recovered
from him in an action of debt, with costs of suit.

195. Should any person wish to fence in any land which has hitherto
been unenclosed, after having built his proportion of said fence, he shall

fence has not been erected or repaired within the time specified, shall
summon three disinterested landholders, who shall view the said fence
and shall determine the proper amount of money to be expended in erect-
ing or repairing the same in a good and substantial manner, and said in-
quisition shall be put in writing, and the party erecting or repairing such
fence shall not expend more than said sum.
