Supreme Court of Vermont May 15, 1897 (Mattison v. Turner)

Start, J.

This cause was heard on demurrer to the special plea. The plea alleges, among other things, that there was a pound for the impounding of beasts liable to be impounded, in the town of Shaftsbury; that the defendant was the keeper of the pound; that the cattle in question were impounded therein; and that the damages had not been paid at the time the plaintiffs brought this action.
