Old L.*r*Punished lncendiaries

Severely

That the forest incendiary is not a new mena,ce to public welfare is proved by a law promulgated 250 years ago in Pennsylvania. In 1676.the Duke of York, brother of King Charles II of England, made the penai{y for kindling a fire in the woods and permitting it to escape to cultivated land, the payment of all the damages plus one-half more as a fine. If the guilty pe?son could not pay he was liable to re,ceive "not gxceeding twenty stripes"-in other words, be publicly whipped.

In 1683, following the grant of Pennsylvania to William Penn, the next oldest forest protection law was passed. Whosoever set on fire woods or marshes was requirecl to make good all the damage.
