Paragraph 1- If one’s animal often enters another’s field and damages it, the owner of the field can warn the owner of the animal to watch his animal, and he must do so. If he did not watch his animal and it damaged, he would liable for the damage. The owner of the animal cannot tell the field-owner to put a fence around his field so that the animal doesn’t enter.

Paragraph 2- If butchers have animals to slaughter on the market-day and they are damaging, they may warn the owners three times to watch them, even if they damaged in the public domain. If he did not watch them, the victim is permitted to slaughter them with a valid slaughtering and we would tell the owners to go and sell their meat.
