be unlawful for the owner of any hogs or swine, or any person having
such animals in charge, to allow the same to run at large | upon the streets
or roads of the county of Warwick; and any such person who shall
intentionally permit such animals to run at large, or who, after notice
to him by any one that such animals are at large, as aforesaid, or are
accustomed to run at large, as aforesaid, shall then fail to prevent them
from running at large on any such street or road, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof before any justice of the
peace for said county, shall be fined not less than one nor more than ten
dollars for each offense.

street or road passing through his own lands which is protected by lawful
gates.

and are hereby authorized to exempt at any time any magisterial district
