Of trespass in pursuing GAME. 
In order to obtain a fatisfaftory idea of the nature and 
extent of that fpecies of trefpafs which a man is liable 
to commit in the purfuit of game, it may be proper to 
inveftigate the rights and privileges of thofe ancient de- 
mefnes or royalties, w'hich were time out of mind ap¬ 
propriated for the prefervation and breed of game ; fuch 
as forefls, purlieus, chafes, parks, warrens, honours^, 
and manors. 
A FOREST isa “ royal demefne, or territory, comprifing 
woody grounds and fruitful paflures, privileged for wild 
deer and fowds of forefl, chafe, and warren, to reft and 
abide there under the fafe proteftion of the king; which 
territory of ground fo privileged is meered and bounded 
with unremoveable marks, meers, and boundaries, either 
known by matter of record, or by prefeription ; and alfo 
replenifhed with beafts of venary or chafe, and with 
great coverts of vert for the fuccour of the deer there 
to abide : for the prefervation and continuance of which, 
there are particular officers, laws, and privileges, be¬ 
longing to the fame, anciently inftituted for that pur- 
pofe, and proper only to a fdreft, and to no other place.” 
Manw. 40. The vert comprehends every thing which 
bears green leaves in the fereft. Manw. 51. And the 
lord having the wood in the tenant’s land, which is fill 
cujltmary in many manors, was originally for prefervation 
of the vert, for the fuftentation of the lord’s game there. 
Beafts of foreft are properly hart, hind, buck, hare, and 
boar ; but legally all wild beafts of venary. ilnjl. 233.— 
They are called bcajls of venarj, becaufe they are gotten 
by the chafe; and venatio, or venifon, becaufe being 
hunted, are reckoned moft wholefome. They are appur¬ 
tenant to a foreft, as the peculiar privilege of crowned 
heads; whence arofe the foreft laws, the courts of eyre, 
fwainmote, &c. and the chief juftice in eyre, warden, 
ranger, regarder, verderor, and other officers, whofe 
bufinefs it is to proteft the vert and venifon, and punifli 
thofe who prefume to trefpafs within the foreft liberty, 
in purfuit of his majefty’s gime.—See the article Fo¬ 
rest, vol. vii. p.565—568, where this fubjeft is am¬ 
ply difculled. 
Pup.LiEU, comes from the Frenchclear, entire, 
and exempt; and lieu, a place : that is, a place, entire, 
clear, or exempt, from the foreft, and fignifies thofe 
grounds which Henry the Second, Richard the Firft, or 
king John, added to their ancient forefts, over other 
men’s grounds, and were difafforefted by the ftatute of
