 not exceeding thirty days. Such assignment and all other 

 assignments of proprietors of partition fences herein provided 

 for, recorded in the town clerk's office, shall be binding upon 

 the parties, and they shall thereafter maintain their part of 

 said fence. If such fence has been built and maintained by 

 the parties in unequal proportions, and the fence viewers 

 adjudge it to be good and sufficient, they may, after notice as 

 aforesaid, in writing under their hands, award to the party 

 who built and maintained the larger portion, the value of 

 such excess, to be recovered in an action on the case against 

 the other party, if not paid within six months after demand. 

 Parties to assignments under the provisions hereof shall pay 

 the fees of the fence viewers certified under their hands, in

 portion within one month after demand, the part}' applying 

 to the fence viewers may pay the same and recover in an 

 action on the case, of said delinquent part}^, double the

 respecting its position, on application of either party as pro-

 view of the premises, they may determine, by a certificate 

 under their hands communicated to each party, on which side
