footgeld

footgeld (fuut-geld). Hist. In forest law, a fine imposed for not making a dog incapable of hunting by either cutting out the ball of its paw or cutting off its claws. • The cutting was known as “expeditating” the dog. To be “free” or “quit” of footgeld was to be relieved of the duty to expeditate one’s dog.
