TITLE 113.
HOGS.

The acts concerning hogs found running at large seem to be continued in force by the Political

Code, sec. 19, subd. 23. They are, in one sense, laws in relation to estrays or trespassing animals, and should be read in connection with the laws on those subjects. It may be observed, however, that if it was the intention to continue enactments, which like these involve penalties and forfeitures, the declaration to that effect ought to be plainer. A reference to these acts will be found in Deering's Annotated Penal Code, p. 582, et seq.
