616 WILD FOWL, BIRDS AND GAME. [ART. 99

deputy game warden, to go before any justice of the peace
in the county or city in which the game or fish may be, and
make affidavit of that fact; said justice shall thereupon issue
a search warrant against the person or corporation so complained
of, directed to any constable of the said county or city, com-
manding him to proceed at once and search for said game or fish
and, upon finding the same, to seize and take possession of the
same and keep it until further order by the justice. The said
constable shall read said warrant to the owner or person in whose
possession said game or fish is supposed to be. Said warrant
shall be returnable within not less than twelve hours nor more

game or fish so seized; but if the said justice shall find that the

seized, to be determined by the justice.
