Any person lawfully taking any distress for any kind of rent may impound or otherwise secure the distress so made of what nature or kin soever it may be, in such place, or in such part of the premises, chargeable with the rent, as is convenient for the impounding and securing such distress; and to appraise, sell and dispose of the same upon the premises, in like manner as any person taking a distress for rent may now do off the premises; and it shall be lawful for any person to come and go to and from such place or part of the said premise where any distress for rent is so impounded and secured, in order to view, appraise and buy, and also in order to carry off or remove the same on account of the purchaser thereof; and if any pound breach or rescue is made of any goods, chattels or stock distrained for rent, and impounded or otherwise, secured by virtue of this Law, the person guilty, or aiding or assisting therein, shall be liable in the Grand Court to be indicted and punished as for a misdemeanour, and to make restitution in damages in a civil action.
