CHAPTER XXXVI 



OF THE ORDINANCE AND THE MANNER OF 

 HUNTING WHEN THE KING WILL HUNT IN 

 FORESTS OR IN PARKS FOR THE HART 

 WITH BOWS AND GREYHOUNDS AND STABLE 



The Master of the Game should he in accordance 

 with the master forester or parker where it should 

 he that the King should hunt such a day, and if 

 the tract be wide, the aforesaid forester or parker 

 should warn the sheriff of the shire where the hunt- 

 ing shall he, for to order sufficient stable ^ and carts, 

 also to bring the deer that should be slain to the 

 place where the curées at huntings have been usually 

 held. And thence he should warn the hunters and 

 fewterers whither they should come, and the forester 

 should have men ready there to meet them, that 

 they go no farther, nor straggle about for fear of 

 frightening the game, before the King comes. And 

 if the hunting shall be in a park all men should 

 remain at the park gate, save the stable that ought 

 to be set ere the King comes, and they should be 



1 Men and hounds stationed at different places, usually on the 

 boundaries of the district in which the game was to be roused 

 and hunted, or at convenient passes from whence the hounds 

 could be slipped at the game.
