PROTECTION AGAINST MISUSE OF RIGHTS OR SERVITUDES. 227 



operations that may be carried out by the privileged parties, and 

 to see that the rights and privileges are exercised in a strictly 

 legitimate manner without excesses being committed. Thus, for 

 example, if it be laid down that every year a certain extent of 

 area shall be open to grazing, pannage, or turbary, it is the duty 

 of the protective establishment to see that the rights of user are 

 not exercised in any portions of the woods not declared open for 

 the satisfaction of such rights during the current year. 



It often happens that only certain specified tracts are subject to 

 such rights, and a careful supervision must be exercised to ensure 

 the detection, prevention, and if necessary the punishment of 

 illegal encroachments into other portions of the woodland area. 



It is, of course, the duty of the chief officer to superintend the 

 control and check off the exercise of the various rights of user, for 

 which purpose he should from time to time take steps to convince 

 himself that his subordinates are properly acquainted with the 

 nature and extent of the servitudes.
