eighteen hundred and sixty, on all conveyances, horses, live
stock, persons and things, traversing the said road, as follows:

or thing pass on the company’s work until the toll be paid. If
any person or thing pass the toll-gate, or other proper place of
payment, without paying or tendering the toll, such person, or
the owner or person in possession of such thing, shall forfeit to
the company ten dollars. And the like forfeiture shall be
incurred when any person or thing, subject to the toll of this
company, is passed through any private gate, bars, fence or
public road, for the purpose of evading the payment of the
toll; and it shall be held to be for the purpose of evading the
payment of the toll, when any person, after travelling one or
more miles on the turnpike of this company, shall turn off on
a road that leads less directly to any city or town than said
turnpike does, or pass through any private gate, bars or fence,
with the intention of reaching such city or town. Said fine
shall be recoverable on a warrant before a single justice of the
