'willingly submit to the irksomeares's of con-
iinement, or the comparative slavery of a
life of daily labour. Hence it would appear
proper to confine this right to the occupiers of the
soil whose culture has afforded the game food
and shelter, and who must have sustained losses
in consequence thereof. And through the occu-
piers of the soil the right must be extended to
the owners from whom the occupiers claim, in
all cases where, by the express words of a
lease, the right of sporting is especially reserv-
ed. When the right to the possession of land by
occupation gave place to rights by the force of
law, conveyances and wills, the game on the land
would have followed the possession of the
land, but for the circumstance that as wild
animals are constantly changing from one
place to another, the law could not assign
an owner in whom the property might vest. It

therefore gave it to the first taker, but it cannot
be unjust to deprive a person of the right of
being the first taker of game, any more than it was
unjust to abolish tenure by occupation, a tenure,
which, however, in certain cases of estates held for
the life of another person, did partially exist up
to the commencement of the reign of George 11.
The right therefore of- taking game being con-
fined to the occupiers or owners of the soil, the

uext question is, as to the qualification to k

game. If idleness were the evil dreaded in the
case of unrestrained liberty to kilt game where-
soever found, by persons other than • the occu-
piers or owners of the soil, the evil is equally to
he dreaded, in the case of the owners of soil nol
amounting to a certain annual value ; and there.
fore whilst the liberty of taking game found upon
their own land might be conceded to them,
they ought to be restrained from killing game
on another's land, even with his permission.
