persons charged, shall be considered as prima facie evidence of
guilt.

8*. If after a full investigation the said justice shall think the
charge groundless, he shall dismiss the same at the cost of the
county, but if he shall be of the opinion that any wild ducks or
other water fowl have been shot at or killed contrary to section
first or second of this article, he shall render a judgment of not
less than ten nor more than one hundred dollars against each
person engaged directly, or indirectly therein for each offence,
and he may commit him or them to the county jail, in the event
of their not paying the fine thus imposed, if the officer making
the arrest and seizure desire it, and if committed, the officer who
desired the commitment shall pay the jail fees at the rate of
twenty-five cents per day, and in case of a failure to pay the said
fees, for the space of three consecutive days, the party whose jail
fees shall thus remain unpaid shall be discharged from confine-
ment.

9*. The justice shall also adjudge and condemn as forfeited to
said officer, and to the person or persons who may have aided
him in making the arrest and seizure, the vessel, boat, float,
canoe or craft, together with the tackle, furniture and apparel
on board of the same at the time of the seizure, and all or any
other property in the possession of the said officer, found, seized
and taken as aforesaid; and the said officer, with the person or
persons who aided him in making the arrest and seizure, shall
sell the same to the highest bidder for cash after ten days' notice.

10*. If any person so convicted shall think himself aggrieved
by such conviction, he shall be at liberty to appeal from the judg-
ment of the justice of the peace, within ten days from the ren-
dition thereof, to the Circuit Court for the county wherein the
offence is alleged to have been committed; Provided, he give bond
to the State with two sufficient securities to be approved by the
said justice, in a penal sum of double the amount in value of the
boat or craft and property so seized and the fines imposed, to be
estimated by the said justice, conditioned to prosecute his appeal
to the Circuit Court; and it shall be the duty of the justice taking
the appeal bond immediately to deliver the same to the officer
who made the arrest; and in case of forfeiture of the bond, the
said officer may prosecute the same for his use and the use of
those engaged with him in making the arrest and seizure.
