SOMETHING ABOUT TRESPASS. 



The law of trespass is of constant inter- 

 est to sportsmen, who are perhaps more 

 liable than any other class of men to un- 

 wittingly offend against its provisions. 

 The last quarterly report of the State 

 Board of Agriculture of Pennsylvania con- 

 tains an article upon this subject, from 

 which the following points are drawn by 

 a local paper : — 



Trespass is defined as ''any transgres- 

 sion of offense against the law of nature, 

 of society, or of the country in which we 

 live, whether it relates to a man's person 

 or his property." This is its widest 

 meaning. Ordinarily, however, it has re- 

 ference only to an entry on the property 

 of another" without authority, and in do- 

 ing damage while there, whether much or 

 little. The law gives the owner exclusive 

 control over his property. Any infringe- 

 ment of his rights without his permission, 

 or justified by legal authority, therefore 

 constitutes a "trespass. It does not need 

 that the land should be inclosed by fences. 

 The law supposes an imaginary inclosure, 

 which answers every purpose, and the sim- 

 ple act of passing it constitutes trespass, 

 although no harm should really result to 

 crops, cattle, or aught else. Even a per- 

 son legallv authorized to seize certain 

 goods on a man's premises dare not break 

 open doors for that purpose ; if he does, 

 his authority avails him nothing and he 

 becomes a common trespasser. Neither is 

 a person justified in so arranging spouts 

 as to discharge water on another man's 

 land, even though he never steps off his 

 own grounds : nor to permit filth to pass 

 a boundary line without due permission. 

 When a spout first discharges on a man's 

 own premises and the contents then find 

 their way to a neighbor's premises it does 

 not constitute a trespass. 



Hunting and fishing, however, consti- 

 tute the most common and annoying 

 sources of trespass to which our farmers 

 are subjected. Custom has induced some 

 people to believe they can hunt or fish on 

 the lands and waters of other men with 

 impunity. Nothing ; is wider of the fact 

 than this, Because there can be no prop- 

 erty in rabbits, quail, squirrels, pheasants 

 and other feral birds and animals, they 

 think these may be pursued wherever they 

 may be discovered. It is hardly necessary 

 to say that the same laws governing tres- 

 pass in other cases prevail here. No mat- 

 ter that neither grass nor grain are tram- 

 pled down, whether gales are left closed, 

 bars left up and no rails broken, the pur- 

 suit of such game on the lands of another 

 without permission is trespass. To even 

 enter an unclosed piece of wood, where 

 there are no crops to be injured, in pursuit 

 of game, which may have taken refute 

 there, is a violation of law — quite as rnttch 

 as if a wheat field in ear had been tram- 

 pled down. Foxhunts, which are again 

 becoming common in certain sections of 

 this and the neighboring counties, are all 

 in violation of law, and every farmer 

 whose acres are passed over by the hun- 

 ters without his sanction having been pre- 

 viously obtained has recourse in the law 

 against the sportsmen for trespass.
