Latest version.
  • Every person found traveling and trading within this
      state contrary to the provisions of this article,  or  contrary  to  the
      terms  of  any  license  that  may  have  been granted to him under this
      article, shall, for each offense, forfeit  to  the  town  in  which  the
      offense shall be committed the sum of twenty-five dollars, to be applied
      to  the  support  of  the  poor  of  the town. Every person traveling or
      trading within this state, having a license, who refuses  to  produce  a
      license  as  a  peddler  to  any  officer  or  citizen  who  demands the
      production of the same shall, for each offense, forfeit to the  town  in
      which  the  demand  is made the sum of ten dollars, to be applied to the
      support of the poor thereof. The refusal of any such person to produce a
      license when demanded shall be presumptive evidence that he is traveling
      and trading without a license.
        No action for the recovery of any  penalty  imposed  by  this  article
      shall  be  maintained  unless  it be brought within sixty days after the
      commission of the offense charged.
