or dogs, whether the owner of the dog has been proved
or not in the trial, shall issue to the owner of the
sheep killed or injured a certificate for the full amount
of damages which shall have been proved to have been
sustained by said owner, which certificate, when endorsed
by the clerk of the board of County Commissioners, shall
be presented to the treasurer of Garrett county, and paid by
him out of any money that may be in the treasury standing to
the credit of the sheep fund; and that if the ownership of the
dog in the case is known, and the dog has not already been

such killing shall be allowed the sum of one dollar for each
dog killed by him upon such order by the justice of the
peace aforesaid, to be taxed against the owner of such dog
as a part of the costs in such case taxed; and that where

has not been ascertained, the costs in the case shall be paid
by the board of County Commissioners out of any money
