 tinuances, regularly filed, till A can Le met with ; and then B, if 

 he can get him served, may proceed with his action after the 

 expiration of such period, the same as if A had been served 

 within it. 



LORDS OF MANORS. 



SINCE the several inclosure acts, doubts have been 

 entertained, whether lords of manors have a right to 

 sport over the freehold of any other person, within 

 the manor, after notice ; or whether a deputation to 

 a gamekeeper will justify his going on any grounds, 

 except the lord's own soil? CLEARLY NOT. 



A lord of a manor, or his ga?nekeeper (unless in a free warren^ 

 or by an especial right reserved^ in letting or selling property), 

 cannot sport on the land of another, without being liable to the 

 same action as any other trespasser; neither can he prevent 

 those, who are qualified, from sporting (on the grounds not his 

 own) within the manor. [Exciting officers /]
