Description | The following was stated in the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ decree dated 22 March 1898 and numbered 9: Those leading around stray animals through crops are served with a fine in accordance with the decision in respect thereof; however, that suits for damages are negotiated by municipal councils notwithstanding the courts’ verdicts; and that if those thus convicted are not convinced, they must be notified with regard to the fact that they are free to apply to courts. It is thus appropriate to relegate the matter to the municipal police force for notifying the issue to the village folk of the kaza of Jerusalem. The 25th of Huzayrân (1)314 (7th of July 1898). |
