Latest version.
  • Whenever any person shall have any strayed
      horses, cattle, sheep, swine or other beast upon his inclosed  land,  or
      shall find any such beast on land owned or occupied by him doing damage,
      and such beast shall not have come upon such lands from adjoining lands,
      where  they  are  lawfully  kept, by reason of his refusal or neglect to
      make or maintain a division fence required of him by  law,  such  person
      may have a lien with priority over all other liens upon such beasts, for
      so  long  as such person shall retain possession of such beasts, for the
      damage sustained by reason of their so coming upon his lands  and  doing
      damage,  for  his  reasonable charges for keeping them, and all fees and
      costs made thereon, and he may  keep  such  beast  until  such  damages,
      charges,  fees  and  costs  are  paid,  or such lien is foreclosed, upon
      complying with the provisions of this article relating thereto.
