 cultural tenant. In such a case disputes may easily 

 arise between the two tenants if either exercises his 

 rights in such a way as to interfere with the rights of 

 the other. The law is, that each is fully entitled to

 shooting is in his own hands) include a right to enter on 

 the land during the close time for game for the purpose 

 of killing vermin and otherwise protecting the game, 

 provided he does not unnecessarily or unduly interfere 

 with the agricultural tenant. Of course, each case must 

 be judged by itself, but the rule for the keeper to re-

 duty if he acts with reasonable consideration for the 

 farmer's rights.
