HUNTING AND TRESPASSING. 



Fresh pursuit 

 over another's 

 land. 



Where the Fox, Gray or Otter, and other noxious ani- 

 mals, are pursued as Verniin, and the governing object 

 of the pursuers is their extirpation, as such, and not merely 

 the amusement of " a run" the law, as laid down in the 

 older authorities, is to a certain extent correct at the present 

 day. 



It is laid down that one may justify hunting foxes over Pursuing- 

 the ground of another because they are noisome Vermin {a) ; ^^™^-
