Bounties on Wild Animals
The recent news dispatches from
Raleigh, announcing that the State
Department of Conservation will
shortly pay bounties for death of
certain wild animals, recalls to mind
the following law, passed by the Gen
eral Assembly at Newbern in 1785.
The law is interesting because of its
odd provision for paying the boun
ties named. This law proved to be
very unpopular, however, and was
repealed January 6, 1787, while the
assembly was in session in Tarboro:
An Act for Destroying Wolves,
Wildcats, Panthers, Bears, Crows,
and Squirrels in the Several Coun
ties Therein Mentioned.
Whereas the great increase of
Wolves, wildcats, panthers, bears,
crows and squirrels, in the counties
herein mentioned, is found to be in
jurious and prejudicial to the inhab
itants thereof:
1. Be it therefore enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
North Carolina, and it is hereby en
acted by the authority of the same,
that the several county courts of
Carteret, Rutherford, New Hanover,
Brunswick, Bladen, Rowan, Tyrrell,
Rockingham, Wilkes, Hyde, Moore,
Caswell, Onslow, Duplin, Sampson,
Burke, Wake, Lincoln, Randolph,
Mecklenburg, Surry and Davidson, in
this State, are hereby authorised and
respectively impowered when they
may judge the same necessary, after
the year one thousand seven hun
dred and eighty-five, to lay a tax on
the inhabitants and taxable property
of their said counties, to be collected
by the public collectors and account
ed for as the county tax, for the pur
pose of granting bounties to persons
who shall kill or otherwise destroy
any wolves, bears, panthers or wild
cats in such counties, in such manner
and in such proportion as by order of
court shall be directed. Provided the
bounty to be given for killing each

wolf shall not exceed twenty shillings,
and for killing each wildcat shall not
exceed three shillings. Provided
such tax shall not exceed one shilling
on each poll, and four pence on every
hundred acres of land in one year.
11. And be it further Enacted by
the authority aforesaid, That the sev
eral county courts before mentioned,
1 shall have full power to apply the
monies arising from said tax, for the
purpose before mentioned, as they
by order may direct; and that the
surplus, if any, shall be applied to
words defraying the contingent
charges of the said county.
' 111. And be it further Enacted by
the authority aforesaid, That every
master or Mistress of a family, and
overseer of a plantation when the
master or mistress of a family does
not reside in the same county, in the
counties Montgomery,Burke,Warren,
Franklin, Wake, Jones, Dobbs, New
Hanover, Wilkes, Granville, Onslow,
Caswell, Lincoln, Rutherford, Duplin,
Sampson, Brunswick, Rowan, Meck
lenburg, Tyrrell, Bladen, Richmond,
and Surry, shall kill, or cause to be
killed in every year, seven crows, or
squirrels, for each taxable he or she
shall inlist, under the penalty of for
feiting and paying four pence for
every crow or squirrel, he or she shall
neglect to kill or cause to be killed,
to be recovered and applied as here :
in after directed. Provided always,
That no constant residents in any of
the towns in the counties in this act
mentioned, shall be included in this
act for their taxables in such town.
IV. And be it further Enacted by
the authority aforesaid, That every
master or mistress of a family, or
overseer as aforesaid, on killing any
crqw or crows, squirrell or squirrels
as aforesaid, shall produce the head
of such crow or crows, and also the
scalp or scalps of such squirrel or
squirrels, to some justice of the
peace, who whereupon shall give a
certificate to such person or persons,
mentioning the number of crows
head's and squirrel scalps so produc
ed, who on giving such certificates
shall destroy or cause to be destroy
ed such heads or scalps in his pres
ence.
And for the effectually re
covering the penalties as aforesaid:
V. Be it Enacted by the authority
aforesaid, That each and every of
the collectors of the respective coun
ties herein before mentioned, at the
time of receiving the county taxes,
shall demand of each and every per
son chargeable with taxes, such cer
tificate for that year; and on neglect
or refusal to produce the same or
pay the penalties aforesaid, the col
lector shall and he is hereby impow
ered and directed to make distress in
the State of such person or persons
for penalties aforesaid, in the same
manner as by law he is impowered to
make distress for public taxes; and
shall account for and pay the same
in the same manner and under the
same l'estrictions, and have the same
allowances as for receiving county
taxes; which penalties shall be ap
plied towards defraying the county
charges. (Passed December 29, 1785.)
