dc.description.lawtext	This Act inflicts 5s penalty on persons riding a gallop & 10s for persons trotting, with Drays or their Teams in the streets, & 5th for suffering a Dog or a Bitch going at rage; or fireing a Gun without Lycence, or if a Negro be found in any disorderly practices or other Misbehaviours may be whipt 21 lashes for any one offence or comitted to prison, which words “other misbehaviours,” are very uncertain and give very arbitrary power where the punishment is great.
dc.description.summary	The act imposed fines for riding at a gallop or trotting drays in the streets, as well as for allowing dogs to run at large or firing a gun without a license. It also allowed enslaved Black people to be whipped or imprisoned for vaguely defined “disorderly practices or other misbehaviours,” giving authorities broad and potentially arbitrary power.
