after the award made or given to him or his agent as aforesaid, upon proof
thereof before a justice of the peace, the justice may, under his hand and
seal, authorize the party aggrieved to repair the fence, and for so doing he
shall be reimbursed all costs and reasonable expenses necessarily incurred
by him in and about the same, to be recovered from the party so refusing
or delaying in the manner debts of like amounts are recoverable; and said
costs and expenses shall be first lien on the adjacent land or farm of the
person who shall have refused or delayed to make and repair the fence;
provided the proceedings to enforce such lien, whether said lien shall have
been heretofore or shall be hereafter acquired, be begun in the Circuit Court
for Prince George's County in equity by the party in whose favor said
lien may be, or by his personal representative, within twelve months after
such repair shall have been done; and said Court is hereby vested with
full jurisdiction in the premises, which jurisdiction shall be exercised as
in the enforcement of liens in other cases in equity, provided further that
neither any such costs or expense heretofore incurred, nor any such lien
heretofore acquired shall be lost or impaired by any provision of this act,
and all such costs and expense heretofore incurred may be recovered in
the manner provided by said Section 463 prior to the passage of this act,
and any such lien heretofore acquired may be enforced in the manner and
within the time by this act provided for the enforcement of liens hereto-
fore required.

464. If any person having an interest in any joint division fence shall
fail to make or keep in repair his part thereof, he shall not be entitled to
any damages on account of any trespass through said part of stock belong-
ing to the other joint owner of said fence; and if he shall kill, maim, or
otherwise injure such stock, upon conviction thereof, he shall pay to the
owner of said stock the full value thereof, with costs of suit; and if such
person be a married woman, she shall be liable under this section of this
subtitle of this article as fully as if she were femme sole, and her separate
estate shall be responsible thereof.

465. In all other cases of trespass by stock, the party trespassed upon
shall be entitled to recover from the owner of the stock trespassing the
amount of damage done by such trespass as other debts are now recovered;
and in case the owner of said stock shall be a married woman, she may
be sued therefor and judgment may be recovered against her as fully as if
she were a femme sole, which said judgment may be enforced by execu-
tion against her separate estate; and the stock so found trespassing shall
be also liable, in all cases, for the damage committed, and may be held by
the party trespassed upon and damaged until the full amount of such
damage and cost of keeping and impounding such stock shall be paid;
and judgment rendered for such damage shall be a lien upon said stock
so found trespassing from the date of said trespass, which said lien shall
