VIOLATION OF THE LAWS OF THE CHASE. LANCASTER ASSIZES. RIDGWAY, ESQ. V. BIRCHBY AND OTHERS. Mr. STA Inci e, in opening the pleadings, stated that Joseph Ridgway, Esq. was the plaintiff, and Wilkinson, Esq. Birchby, and several other persons, were defendants. The declaration stated, that the plaintiff was proprietor and owner of a number of hounds and dogs of the chase, which the defendants, by means of a large and fierce dog, had Worried and otherwise injured, maimed, and destroyed; by shout ing at them, and using various acts of violence. The defendants had pleaded, by way of justification, that the hounds in question were hunting in a close into which they had no right to enter, and that the de fendants had no means of driving them away but by the acts of violence complained of. Mr. SCARLETT, in his address to the Jury, observed, that they had heard from his Learned Friend that this was a case which might be described as rather of a sporting nature ; he much regretted that he was not better acquainted with the laws which regulated the diversion of hunting, in order that he might be able, in language more appropriate and suitable to the subject, to state the case which the plaintiff had in trusted to his conduct. His client, •Mr. Ridgway, the Gentleman now sitting immediately before him, he knew to be a man of character as honourable as that of any individual inthis wealthy and populous county; he had the advantage of being possessed of an ample fortune, and in the enjoyment of it had, from the earliest pei iod of his life, addicted himself to the plea sures of the chase; but in such a way as to produce the least possible inconvenience to every one whose property he had occasion to pass over in the course of his diversion. He had ever deported himself in such a way, that not only had every Gentleman in his neighbourhood been inclined to afford hini every facility, but they had themselves been most happy to join him in the sports of the field ; there was not a Gentleinan of rank or fortune for many miles round his residence, who had net felt happy in granting him every privilege usual on the part of one sportsman to another. Mr. Ridgway had for many years kept an excellent pack of harriers in this county ; before he had a pack of his own, he was a constant huntsman with the hounds of Sir Frank Standish, a sportsman upon whose celebrity it was quite unnecessary to de scant. A splendid estate having devolved upon the plaintiff, he, in his turn, became possessor of a pack of hounds, renowned for their fleetness, equal to those formerly possessed by Action. Having become the proprietor of a pack of this kind, he had the privilege conferred upon him of using the lands of the most considerable persons around the neighbourhood whe►e he lived. kle had found himself most reluctantly compelled to bring the present action, in consequence of basing experience.% while in the exercise of that sport, which he had been for twenty-seven years ill the habit of enjoying, for at least three times a we^k, with that; specter, be would not say of resistance, tor it would not be a prom term to make use of; hut With that sett :of aggression and attack upon•llis aardditable. The residence ierttn of -Mr.- id w e L in the neighbourhood of Chorley, and he bad the liberty cif sporting over the extent of ground between Bol ton and Morley, including all the lands in the seve ral intermediate townships between those two places. it happened on the day speCifted in the declaration,. that 'he Arent out with his hounds and tetirme as usual, l and a hare was soon put up within the precincts of, the manor of Chorley, c h as ed-and ; that manor, I lielbelle.ted, belonged to a - Gentleman of the name of Gillebrand, at tha t t i m e res idi ng a b roa d ; had 'he been here, he was well persuaded the ground for the pre- sent complaint never would have existed. The game having been put.np within the manor of Chorley, but in that partic u l ar per t o f i t _ in which Mr. Ridg way had no distinct or spleille liberty of hunting, he called off his bounds in ordee to prevent the commis stun of any trespass which , he conceived might be considered as extra to - his privilege. .This occurred at a very early hour of the morning ;-'yet, et this pe riod, two or three of the . deferidabts thought 6't to make an attack upon his hounds while he was:in the act of drain them off. He passed over that insult without notice, and proceeded with his sport within his own precincts. Another hare was shortly after put up in the neighbourhood of a place called Dux bury Hall, which was in a very short time rundown and killed. Another was put up, and was pursued till it got within the precincts of the manor of Cher ley : it was to be noticed that it was not started ori ginally within that. manor, but had fled thither. It was quite impossible for Mr. Ridgway, or any person in pursuit of the game, to be able precisely to ascer tain the boundaries of a particular manor, .conscious that be had the sanction of every farmer whose lands lay between Bolton and Chorley. He had no ideal whatever that in following his hounds he could vio late the rights of any one. Here the Learned Coun sel said he would take leave to state, without fear of contradiction, that no Lord of a Manor was entitled by an act of violence to intercept the progress of a pack of hounds, or to use any violence towards them; all he had a right to do was, if they were unlawfully trespassing, to bring an action against their owner.— One of the defendants, who was the gamekeeper of Mr. Wilkinson, ignorantly conceived that he had a right to prevent the hounds of any person, and those who followed them, from coming upon any past of the precincts of the manor belonging to his master. When the hounds approached a particular spot, it would be found that several of the defendants - began to ::track and resist them. Mr. Ridgway at this time was a little behind the pack.. When he came up he perceived his huntsmen and people engaged in a con flict with certain of the defendants. The hounds were at this moment in full cry ; be called out to his hunts men and people to follow the game ; they did so, and eventually get into a cover near the place where Mr. Wilkinson lived. The instant Mr. Ridgway found the hounds had dot: into a wood or cover adjacent to'44,r..Wilkitsson:s mansion, he directed his hunts man to sound his bugle to draw the pack away.— Every one at all acquainted with the sports of the field, must be perfectly aware of the prompt obedi ence which hounds *paid to that well known sound ; no one was ignorant that the sound of the horn was the only way of drawing off hounds when in the act of pursuing their game. It was just after the hounds had received this warning that the circumstances oc curred which had given rise to the present action.— The hounds were retiring in the most orderly man ner, when several of the defendants began to assail them in a way as violent as it was unwarrantable.— One of the defendants had a large bludgeon, which he actually broke by a blow on the back of one of the hounds; another threw stones at them ; a third, who had a double barrelled gun, fired twiceat them; true it was he could not prose that the gun was loaded, for the dogs were not hit or killed: but the inference was obvious, for gamekeepers were nut usually abroad without having their guns loaded.— , This violence, however, vat's not thought sufficient. A large and 'furious dog, which was usually kept chained up, was let loose, and turned upon the hounds, the defendants exciting the 'dog to fall upon and worry the hounds. One of the hounds was seized hold of by this dog and :nue) injured, and it was not without difficulty the struggling animal was ex tricated. Several of the pack were attacked in this way by the ferocious mastiff set upon them, and although they were ultimately rescued, it was not effected without extreme exertion and danger to those who interposed. All this passed after the bugle had sounded. As he had before observed, every body knew that the most effectual, and indeed the only way of drawing off the hounds, was by the well- known sound of the bugle: as to attempting to mo lest them when in full chase, it, was a vain attempt whi,h no man could make, unless from a wanton and malicious motive. The fact was notorious, and he could adduce evidence in support of it, that such was the eagerness of hounds in pursuit of the chase, that there had been an instance of a bitch in a pack liitering during the hunt, end actually seizing her pups in her mouth and continuing the pursuit. He instanced this in order to slew that hounds were not to be diverted from following their game by any feel ing of pain, or by any infliction of external violence. Now what was the excuse which was set up by the defendants for this outrageous conduct? But he woulei Erst observe, that several of the hounds were so much injured that they were unable afterwards to join is the pursuit. These hounds had all their identi cal names, one was called Treachery, another 'fowler, Another Tragic, and another Tearer :., in fact, every hound ih the pack was designated tiy its proper name. These Poor bounds -in-particular had - serious wounds, of which they all bore the marks to this day; they were - obliged to- 'have medicihes administered to them, and surgical oerations performed upon them. Mr. Ridgway , considered this AS an unspoi tsin an-like 1) . toceediag; it was bush as he bad never met with Wale, And he trusted he should never meet with it . tb • . - : aims.. _ deemed it right to inforarMt.Wilkirsh son of what occurred, for the defenchint's servants had informed him that they had authority. far their proceedings. He, could hardly suppose tit:wavy Gen. tleman would have given• such an authority to his servants. Mr. Wilkinson wrote him for answer that he had, examined his servants, that they had given a very different account of the transaction, and that he should believe them in preference to any other re, port. Such, said the Learned Counsel, was the na ture of the case. He did not mean to state that Mr, Ridgtvay had brought the present action with the view 'of recovering conside ra bl e d amages, b ut h e was compelled to vindicate his rights, if he was to -enjoy the pleasurerig .the cease in t h e way h e had ~beect used . to do, end 'all isetioni before him had been ac custonlea to enjoy them: . 'Jr ht Eras to submit town attack Of this kind upon Ws 'haunch every timethe defendants or others thought 'kaiser UPI/sale if, bte *meld besubjece re that sort of aggtetsion which' no sportsman coulcl'brook or endttre. Helen, Mete. fore, obliged to bring this' ction in order to have the question deCided between him and the defendinte, whether hounds, in-pursuit of their game, were liable I to be treated in this manner? The justification was, 'that these hounds were in a close which, in one cnunt of the declaration ) was alleged to belong to Mr.Gel lebrand ; and in another, to Mr. Wilkinson. He should prove that the hare was originally started in anotherAnanor. • Such was the excuse made by the defendants foe letting loose upon the hounds a large Newfoundland dog, which had been constantly kept chained. The first act of this fierce animal, when at liberty, was to seize a young pointer of their . own, which he had nearly devoured, before he was *en eouraned to attack the hounds. The defendants con tended, that these were the only means they had of driving the hounds out of the cover in which they • Were disturbing the game. Now, with regard to pre venting the garde from being distu`rbed in a cover, he was informed, that nothing was so likely to frighten the pheasants as the act of firinga gun twice; and, further, that there was no way of calling the houndd off so likely to be attended with an immediate effect as the sound of the bugle—violence was wholly un necessary. If the parties had let the hounds alone, in three minutes the hounds would have been clear of the cover. The question was, whether such .an at= tack upon the plaintiff's hounds was justifiable?— The Learned Counsel said he remembered a case, some time ago, where a wanton attack had' been made upon a sporting-dog. It should always be re collected that dogs are not like human beings—they could not discern the boundaries of manors—they could not distinguish the local' rights of one man from another: when the hare Was once started, and the hounds were in full pursuit of it, to go and at tack them, and attempt to beat them back, was a most flagrant act of violence, more especially when the huntsmen had warned them off. Hounds, being animals without reason, had no sense of moral disci: pline: they merely followed the instinct nature had implanted in, them. He remembered a case of this description, where a pointer dog, following his mas ter, broke into the grounds of,the late Lord Cawdor, where he pursued some hares; the gamekeeper seeing the dog, and being called upon by his Lady, fired at the dog, and killed it; an action was brought against Lord Cawdor, a verdict passed against him, and he was obliged to pay smarting damages : it was held to have been an unnecessary act of violence on the part of the gamekeeper, and that he had no right to kill a dog for merely following the impulse of its in stinct..He therefore contended that the gamekeepers in the present instance had no right to assail and drive off the plaintiff's hounds in the outrageous manner they had done; the dogs being there, was purely an act of their own. He denied the tight of Mr. Wilkinson, or his gamekeeper or bailiff, to turn the hounds of Mr. Ridgway, or of any other person, off the grounds even in their own pos,session. If 4 pack of hounds ran into a close or preserve near a Gentleman's residence, he admitted it might be'i trespass; but asit was a matter of mere accident, and all that could be done'was to call them Off *by the sound of the bugle, if it were allowedao maltreat and ill-use the dogs under such circumstances, there would be an end of the pleasures of the chase. He was far froth' wishing tO'exaggerate the improper conduct of the defendants; but he (Mr. Scarlett) Was in a condition to prove that all the bystanderS, including even the. tenants of Mr. Gellebrand, were shocked at witnessing such a harsh transaction. Having shewn his forbearance in the first instance, when 'the attack was made, he had neverthelesi thought it a duty he owed himself and his brother sportsmen to bring the present.action. The defend. ants had summoned a Special Jury to try the action; he did not, complain of them for doing so ; it was an action 'which Might as well be decided' by s'ortsmen aslaVeyers. The Jury would hear the evidence, and he was perfectly' persuaded their verdict would be satisfactory to \lr. itidgway as , well as the defendants. Mr. Serjeant HoLeocic agreed with his Learned a cause which could b e b etter d f e r c ie i n de d d , 04 , thissp was ortsm en than laiwyers ; and, as his Learned Friend had stated that Mr. Ridgway had no intention of interfering with the covers and preserver of Me. Wilkinson, he should be well content to have the whole matter referred to some Gentlema n con versant in the laws of the ch ase; the fact w as , M r . Wilkinson was from home infienthe transaction took place, and war as innocent of it as any of the Gentle.' men of the Jury. Mr. Se/tummy stated, that he was . authorized by, his client to close with the proposition just made by his Learned friend.' • It fortunately happened there s *as a sporting Gen: tleMgh oh the Jury, and to him all matters were re ferred. to decide between the parties, as a sportsman,: upon the principle which ought to regulate the con duct of one sporting gentleman towards another.
