mains on the high road may commit the trespass by 

 sending his dog into a field to chase rabbits or by act- 

 ing in concert with others who are in the fields in pursuit 

 of game, etc. 



A man who has a perfect right to be on the lands 

 for another purpose may be convicted under this Act 

 of " unlawfully entering " if he takes game when on the 

 lands. For example, a farm servant whose employment 

 requires him to be on a particular field to plough, be- 

 comes a trespasser if he takes game on that field. 



Any such trespasser may be required, by the person 

 having the right to kill game on the land, or the occupier, 

 or the gamekeeper, or other person authorised by either 

 of them, to quit the land and give his full name and 

 address. If he refuses to do either of these things, 

 the gamekeeper or other such person may apprehend 

 the offender and take him before the Sheriff. If the 

 offender cannot be brought before the Sheriff within 

 twelve hours of his arrest, he must be discharged, but 

 may be proceeded against for his offence by summons 

 or warrant. The gamekeeper (or other) may also re- 

 quire the offender to give up any game he has with 

 him, and, if he refuses, may take it from him. 



The gamekeeper cannot be sued for anything wrong 

 he has done in carrying out the Act after six months 

 have elapsed since the act complained of. 



A trespass to pick up dead game is not an offence 

 under this Act.
