OLD LAWS NOT KEPEALED. 



The old action for trespass is still in force, but notice must 

 be given prior to the trespass, unless the judge certify that 

 it was wilful and malicious. Owners or huntsmen may 

 follow fox-hounds, harriers, or greyhounds, while in hot pur- 

 suit of their game, without penalty under the game-law, 1 

 and 2 Will. 4, c. 32, and also clear of the old action for tres- 

 pass, unless notice has been served upon them. 



Notices must be served either verbally or in writing, and 

 should come from the tenant of the particular parcel of laud 

 on which the trespass is committed. Gamekeepers, or other 

 persons, may serve notice, if deputed by occupiers or by lords 

 of manors ; but they must expressly name the occupier, <tc., 

 as giving them orders to warn off. 



If, after receiving notice, a person, instead of going on 

 lands himself, sends his dogs upon them, he is liable to an 

 action for trespass as much as if he himself went.
