have been paid.

73. Any Justice of the Peace that may reside in said town or

That all fines, penalties and forfeitures imposed by any ordi-
nance may be collected in the name of the Town before any
Justice of the Peace as aforesaid in the same manner as small
debts are collected in proceedings before Justices of the Peace,
and the delinquent shall be committed to the county jail in
default of payment until the same is paid. Provided, however,
that no person shall be imprisoned for more than thirty (30)
days for any one violation of any such ordinance, or failure to

ered by way of fines, penalties or forfeitures shall be the money

upon real estate in said town, and shall have attained the age
