LARCENY — Deer 6.

The String of Statutes is not yet at an end. The last of which an account has been
given, + + 10.G.2.32 §§.7. And the 9
§§ continued by 17.G.2.c. .§§. . & 24
G.2.c. . .§§. . & perpetuated by 31.G.2.
c.42. §§25 & 6
(Transportation retard
the former., relates, as we have seen observed the Statute next before it does to do only to Deer kept under
inclosures: those in open Forests & chases being still entrusted to the ineffectual guard
of pecuniary penalties: to supply this defect, it inflicts the penalty punishment of a 7 year
transportation, but not till after a second Offence: a striking disparity, which if not it has
its' like any assignable reasons, has its' at least its assignable causes; the explanation of which induces will give occasion to the necessity of a few
observations, with which will compleat close the Theory of the subject may be concluded.

By 8.9. Persons arrived (as therein
aforesaid — viz: with fire arms hand-staves
flails — and other offensive weapons) coming
into a place inclosed or not inclosed
where Deer are kept & liberty with an intent
to hunt, in kill, wound or take
away, and unlawfully beating or wounding
any keeper
or page
in the
execution
of his office
shall
be transported
for 7 years
& returning
suffer death

We have already seen how it is, that with regard to such that class of animals among
which the Deer that in question has been ranked, no mark of appropriation could of be taken if one may so
say from the person of the animal: there remained therefore from whence only it
could be taken, deduced the circumstance of place. of its' abode

Tis accordingly that circumstances, by the mediation of which
alone we alone shall find upon looking back in the of the early periods of our Jurisprudence
the proprietor & the subject of the property to be connected. The
taking or as we should now term it, the stealing of Deer, is there considered not as a
taking of a thing that belonged to the proprietor but the transferring upon Land that belonged to
him — A Statute made against offenders in their behalf is said to be made against concerning
in Parks; whereas and sheep are never differably as any one may now from those against Hunters of Sheep Poultry & Horses who are not designed by any such
circumlocutory description of as those of Malefactors in Poultry yards or Stables.

Now we have here before <add> on a former occasion observed, Law unvarious of real immovable property have always been widely distinguished
from those of personal by the comparative mildness of their punishments: we have there likewise observed
that that distinction written silently implicitly than roundly was founded on, as it is at this time to be
by, the permanency of the subject matter. But as mere when a provision practice is thoroughly
to unpublished and undisputed unquestioned men are not apt to turn their eyes backward to its foundation
especially in a barbarous & unsentimentizedy age; and as the kind of instinct which secretly/silently guided them to that provision, having performed its' office vanished altogether as books regarded by those many on that to be regarded
in the light of a more positive institution, it was easily extended as will appear in those all such cases to a subject to which
the considerations which secretly guided it to establishment, were not are no longer applicable

For tho' every man
with that limitation who keeps Buck Stalls must be
a Man who would take Deer
yet every man who takes Deer
is not a man who keeps Backstalls

Hence it is that the punishment of Death which for some time was law for
these offences when while there was no other Law than the practise of the King's ministers and
Judges was thought grievous and the abrogating of it made a point of in that Charter of
Concessions which was an accompaniment equally valuable worthy as it's valued at that time principal to Magna Charta

Reference by description

Another difference between Game & other animals is, that about the latter there is the appearance of labor
bestowed; which is much circumstance in giving title according to the general notions of marked & in connection
in the imagination the of the proprietor with the subject of the property. Where there this the takes place, it is expected
that that thing belong to that person, & men are disposed to acquiesce in its' doing so for a reason which is in some confused not perceived by every one that
were this not the case no Labor at all would be bestowed on any subject at all, & so every man be depended under a
