If any ferrykeeper fails or neglects to do so, he or she shall forfeit and pay the sum of four dollars ($4.00) for every neglect. Each day that the ferry rates are not posted shall constitute a separate offense. The sum shall be recovered in a civil action before any justice of the county, one-half (½) for the use of the prosecutor and one-half (½) to the county.(c) Should any keeper presume to charge or demand more than what the county court may have allowed, the keeper shall forfeit and pay for every offense the sum of ten dollars ($10.00), to be recovered before any justice of the peace of the township in which such ferry is located by any person of whom the demand may be made.Rev.
