SURREY ASSIZES —CROYDON, AUGUST S.
HARRISON V. MAY.
Mr. Serjeant BAILEY faid, this was an a4tion'of
trefpafs, and the cafe was a very fhort and fimple
one. The defendant was a Gentleman who lived
in the neighbourhood of the plaintiff, and had been
warned off his grounds, fome time previous to the
trefpafs having been committed: the prefent anion
was brought to afcertain, whether he had a right
to trefpafs in defiance of plaintiff? He under-
flood it was to he pretended, there had been a li-
cence given to fport on the plaintiff's manor ; but
if the tad were fo, the licence was defeated by the
fubfequent notice.
Robert Cooper proved the delivery of the notice
to the defendant. After he had ferved it, he faw
him trefpaffing on the plaintiff's farm. The de-
fendant told him, if the plaintiff would appoint
any morning, he would make a point of trefpaf-
ling on his grounds, and he might come and fee
him. He had his dog
,and gun, continued there
fot the fpace of two hours, and went over a great
many fields.
Mr. ADAM faid, the plaintiff's counfel had fated
the very cafe, which he fhould prove. It was his
defence; &lb that there was a licence, which the
notice did not put an end to; idly, that the place
in queftion was not the manor of the plaintiff.
Mr. fullice Gtosa faid, he never knew a more
impudent thing in his life; the defendant abfo-
lutely defied the plaintiff. It had been proved
that the defendant had not only trefpaffed on that
which was in the polreflion of the plaintiff, but had
defired him to come and fee him do fo. He fhould
certify it to be a wilful trefpafs. The Jury would
give what damages they thought proper. He was
of opitilon that even without the notice the trefpafs
was wilful. Verdia for the plaintiff.—Damages
One Shilling.
