See notes to 1796, ch. 67, ante page 334.

session, eighteen hundred and six, chapter eighty-one, relating
to runaway servants and slaves; it.is provided that any person
or persons seizing and taking up such runaways, shall have
and receive six dollars ; And whereas, from experience, it is
ascertained the sum is insufficient to give that impetus to the
apprehension of such runaways as the case really deserves, and
to remedy the evil thereof:

passed in eighteen hundred and six, above referred to, shall be
thirty dollars instead of six dollars, as provided for by said
original act, to be recovered according to the provisions of said
original act, from the party owning or holding such slave.
