Illustration for Impounding Act 1955

If you have a lot of stock that needs to be impounded, but the pound is too small, the poundkeeper can use a nearby paddock or place. The poundkeeper must get approval from the local authority for this paddock or place. This paddock or place is then considered part of the pound while it is being used for the stock.
