Chap. 196.—An ACT to amend and re-enact an act approved March 5, 1900,
entitled an act to prescribe a fence law for a part of Cedarville district,
Warren county.

Approved February 15, 1901.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the act
approved March fifth, nineteen hundred, entitled an act to prescribe a
fence law for Cedarville district, in the county of Warren, be amended
and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That within
the limits of that portion of Cedarville magisterial district, in the county
of Warren, west of the Shenandoah river, the boundary lines, except those
hereinafter specified, of each tract or lot of land and the lines bounding
the limits of each public road, shall be deemed and are hereby constituted
lawful fences: provided, that this section shall not extend to any division
line between actually enclosed or cultivated lands, nor relieve any railway
company from its obligation to fence its limits under the general state
law.

§ 2. A lawful fence along a division line between actually enclosed or
cultivated lands shall be a fence four and one-half feet high, including
the base or mound upon which said fence rests, if any there be, and suffi-
ciently tight and strong to prevent the passage of stock without breaking
or displacing the same; and the owner of land on either side of such
division line, if he desires to build or to repair said fence, shall have all
the rights and remedies to which he would have been entitled, prior to
the passage of the act approved March fifth, nineteen hundred.

§ 3. All acts or parts of acts in conflict with this act, to that extent,
are hereby repealed.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
