This Act may be cited as the Impounding Amendment Act, 1908, and shall be read together with and deemed to form part of the Impounding Act, 1908 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).

Whenever any cattle have been seized by any person for the purpose of impounding them in accordance with section seventeen of the principal Act, if the owner of the cattle, or any person on his behalf, before the cattle have been actually impounded, pays or tenders to the person in whose possession they are the charges for leading or driving cattle to the nearest pound, as provided in Part II of the Second Schedule to the principal Act, together with the amount of any expenses incurred as provided in the said section seventeen, the person in whose possession the cattle are shall forthwith deliver them up to the owner or to the person so paying or tendering on his behalf; but no such delivery shall exempt any person from any penalty to which he would have been liable if the cattle had been impounded in pursuance of the said section seventeen.

Section seventeen of the principal Act is hereby amended by inserting at the commencement of the section the words “Any poundkeeper or,” and after the word “constable” wherever it occurs the word “poundkeeper.”
