INTRODUCTION AND ANALYSIS
271/519

The offence of removing a boundary shall receive two punishments--the first will be inflicted by the God himself; the second by the judges.

In the next place, the differences between neighbours about encroachments must be guarded against.

He who encroaches shall pay twofold the amount of the injury; of all such matters the wardens of the country shall be the judges, in lesser cases the officers, and in greater the whole number of them belonging to any one division.

Any injury done by cattle, the decoying of bees, the careless firing of woods, the planting unduly near a neighbour's ground, shall all be visited with proper damages.

Such details have been determined by previous legislators, and need not now be mixed up with greater matters.
