In the 3d Sect. it directs the Prosecution to be before at the Assizes or Sessions — at the Suit of the Party — In the 4th
it directs it to over again at the Suit of the party grieved to be at the Assizes or Sessions or in a Court of Record
at Westminster: But drops the costs, & says nothing of the Imprisonment.
In the 7th It the prior Act what repeats with trifling variations the choice on the former that which excepting such Parks as had been should be thereafter respecting
made without Lease from the Sovereign except that the word "Conies" is here again inserted
By the 5th Sect. it gives power
to having 100 a year

of persons not having 40£ a
year or 200£ in goods, or being
the owner of a Park or Warren
What was the effect & use as far as relates to Deer of this miserable [heap of] gibberish? I think should inject
it must have been the extending the its' protection of the of the Law to such Parks as might
have been made in the interval of the two Statutes without licence — if so, it instead
have of being involved by implication in a chaos of 2 1/2 pages, it might have been explained

To compleat the confusion by the 8th & last Sect. it restricts itself to offences committed by night, leaving the
Stat. of Eliz. without restriction: but this restricting clause is repeated by another of the
7. of the same King c.13. which is continued farther by 3 Car.4 & from then
indefinitely by 16.Car.1.4.
To a man who considers that this is bit a slight specimen of what he has to go
through, nothing but the hopes however feint of being the last could be afford an argument to pursue
a disgusting tool [King — Lords — Commons] — — —
let it not be a one!
