Section 316. Foreclosure of lien upon strays

If the owner of such beasts
  shall not redeem the same within one month after delivery of the  notice
  to  the  town  clerk, the person delivering the notice may foreclose his
  lien by action, or by a sale of the beasts, as herein provided.  When  a
  person  claiming a lien, as herein provided, shall fail to establish the
  same, he shall not be entitled to receive anything for damages, charges,
  fees or costs, but shall be liable to pay all fees, costs  and  expenses
  incurred  by  reason  of  his  keeping  such  beasts and the proceedings
  thereon.
