animals named so permitted to run at large, for the first of-

after the same shall be imposed by the justice of the peace or
the Circuit Court upon appeal, the same may be collected by

for the purpose, with the further provision that any property
levied upon in pursuance of this Act shall not be subject to
any exemption from execution, and in case of a second offense
and failure to pay such fine in addition to the above remedy
the party committing the same by permitting the animals to
run at large as aforesaid, that in no case shall the imprison-

county; and provided further, that instead of process in the
nature of an arrest, the justice of the peace shall issue the or-

process of arrest, however, in case the party shall fail to appeal-
after summons served upon him. No hogs shall be raised or
kept penned or empenned for any purpose, or be slaughtered
