Chase
English Law: Chase in the Past
The liberty of keeping beasts of chase or royal gaine, on another man’s ground as well as on one’s own ground, protected even from the owner of the land, with a power of hunting them thereon. It differs from a park, because it may be on another’s ground and because it is not enclosed. 2 Bl. Com. 38. [1][rtbs name=”history-of-english-law”]
