190 APPENDIX. 



Of some of the later and milder measures taken to pro- 

 tect the hawk, it may be remarked that the 5th of Elizabeth, 

 c. 21, enacts that if any person shall unlawfully take any 

 hawks, or their eggs, out of the woods or ground of any 

 person, and be thereof convicted at the assizes or 

 sessions on indictment, bill or information at the suit of 

 the king, or of the party, he shall be imprisoned three 

 months, and pay treble damages, and after the expiration 

 of three months shall find sureties for his good abearing 

 for seven years, or remain in prison till he doth, § 3. 



The last statute concerning falconry (except a clause in 

 7 Jac. c. 11, which limits the time of hawking at phea- 

 sants and partridges) is that of the 23rd Eliz. c. 10, which 

 enacts that if any manner of person shall hawk in another 

 man's corn after it is eared, and before it is shocked, and 

 be therefore convicted at the assizes, sessions, or leet, he 

 shall pay 40s. to the owner, and if not paid within ten 

 days he shall be imprisoned for a month.
