§ 122. Unlawful use of lands. Any person, not of such tribe, who

shall hire, use or occupy any lands of such tribe, which have been

allotted by the trustees thereof, or any person who shall occupy or use

any of such lands without the consent of a majority of such trustees,

and of at least two of such justices, obtained and entered in the book

of the town clerk kept for such purpose, shall be liable to a penalty of

twenty-five dollars for every acre hired, used or occupied. Any person

belonging to such tribe, who shall cut any wood or timber on such lands,

person who shall sue for the recovery thereof.
