This was an aftion of trefpals for cutting trees,
and the queftion was, Whether the place where they
'were cut down w,as within the bounds of a certain
manor ? The Plaintiff, who claimed under Lord
Howe, gave in evidence a number of alts of owner-
fhip on the foil in queltion, which was rebutted by
the Defendant, only by Chewing, that the inhabitants
of another manor had been ufed to turn in on the
fame ground.
Lord ELLE mono H held, that this was no anfwcr
to the cafe, for the one party had ezercikd a right in
the foil, and the other had not (hewn any aft of trwiti.
erfhip whatever. Verdict for the Plaintiff-i-DarnsgpA
ten pounds, the value of the trees. .

ATICIWN b. $lOl/.
This was an :tenon for.fhootlngrhe Plaintiff's dog.
Mr. GARROW fisted, that the Plaintiff in this cale
was a Gentleman refiding in London,,anchsttialiffed
for field (ports. The dog which had been killed Ayas
a very valuable
tanimal, and worth twenty guineas.,
a: It had been feat to artnet of the name of Acres,
living near Broxbourne, in this county, and' one
the teith of April lad, the artinastilitv.z soft* etit
With him to a place called White...l34oc Woods ,
the man was loading his cart, the p ere n an t who
was gamekeeper to Mr. Jacob reanciner, fhot the
animal while he was quelling' about the fields. In
an(wer to this case. it was pleaded, dra, the ger.eral
due ; next, that Mr. Bnfansp.tet wagpeffeireslof a riew
of free warren in the manor Or lkosbqgnol, and th.4l
the Defendant, as his fervint,lhot the dog whiCharaal
chafing the game. He denied• that the' dAg wag at
ail chafiitig thegame, it would quell (be. hunt) after
a black bird, and it was a moll 14 rtatnred.aia.
did not mean to blame Mr. Bpfanquet, who defended
tiw glion; but hi... fervant wheritid done the' deed ;
for he was flirt that Mr. B. only defended it, becaufe
he thought his feevant was entitled ao protection, un-
til his ill cnnduEt was legally proved.
Acres, the farmer, raid he had the tare of the dog.
from Mr. Atkinfon, and tiled his being fhot Tiq
Kent, in the manner as Mr. Garrnw had related." •

Mr. Serjeant SHEPPAR',,. for the Defencknt,ob-
ferired, that by the pleadings it was admitted the dog
was chafing the game, and therefore the only thins
for them to do was to.prore the right of free warren
is Mr. Bofanquet.
To prove this they produced a charter of Henry
VIII. by which the Manor of Brosbourne and right
of free warren was given to Sir Child, having,
been lately pert of the poll (fine.; of the Snighte,
Templars. The Manor afterward.; went tq •tha
Lords Mounfey, and the right of free warms, ways
again confirmed by charter of Charles 11. From the,
latter Mr. Bofanquet derived his title by purcltt~(e.
Mr. GARROW defirtd the Learned Serjsant to con-
fider for a moment whether be could fupport his cafe.,
and Rated to him an objeaion to Mr. B.'s title of
free warren. He did it becaufe he did not with Mr.
B. to have a verditt againti him, which would be a
bar to his title hereafter, in much more important
matter. The objedion was this--that Mr. Bofan-
quet could thew the deeds conveying the Mayer of
Broxbourne to him, yet the right of free warren
would not pals under the word apfortenances, but rittiß'
be granted fpecificaUy and by name, which he ap-
prehended was not done.
Lord Eeesitsoloticit was of the fame o*ied ;
and fai.l, although it (hould appear by the deeds that'
the Lords Mounfey had granted the Manor, jet tUC
the free warren was a royal franehife wit ligneS, they
had referred that to themfelves.•
After a little confederation it was agreed that
juror fhould be withdrawn, the Defendant undertak-
ing to pay the eons, and five guineas for died*
/TRUTT V. BOVINGTON:

This was an 'talon for 'diverting the water from
the Plaintiff's ancient mill at Rickmanfworth, in this
county. The Defendant, who was a farmer, infilled
that he had a right to let out the water to irrigate his
meadows. A great number of old perfects were
called as witneffes, who proved that the mill was an
ancient mill, and that formerly the farmers only tired
the water for the meadows when there was a furplus,
or on a Sunday, when the mill did not work. It Was.
alio in evidence, that the father of the Plaintiff once
brought a fimilar anion, and recovered damages for
the like condo&

gates complained of, and to repair the banks.

ber of bank notes, and all his (hip's paper by a villain
who pretended to affill in railing the trunk. He ef-
caped through Chapter-houfe-court before the Cap-
tain perceived his loft.
