                  Act of May 28, 1907, P.L. 270, No. 206              Cl. 52
                                  AN ACT

     Making the removing, obliterating, or destroying tickets, cards,
        tin-slip, or other device, used to indicate or to identify
        persons loading coal in cars from mine-cars, a misdemeanor,
        and providing penalty therefor.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That any person who wilfully
     shall, from any loaded coal-car in or about any mines, breaker,
     or yard, in this Commonwealth, take, remove, sever, carry away,
     obliterate, or destroy any ticket, card, tin-slip, or other
     device or sign, used to indicate or identify the person or
     persons to whom credit or pay is or shall be due for the mining
     of coal in said car, or for the loading of said car, for the
     purpose of depriving such person or persons from getting credit
     or pay for said car, or for the purpose of defrauding such
     person in any manner, shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor,
     and, upon conviction therefor, shall be sentenced to pay a fine
     not exceeding one hundred dollars or to undergo an imprisonment
     not exceeding one year, or either or both, at the discretion of
     the court; and the jury trying the case may infer such intent
     from the fact of taking, removing, carrying away, severing,
     obliterating, or destroying, in any manner, of such tickets,
     card, tin-slip, or other device or sign, as aforesaid.
