    list of game, as well as the rabbit; with, however, the following exceptions:—the taking of woodcocks', or snipes, in nets, or springes, and the taking or de- stroying rabbits in warrens, or any inclosed ground ; or by any person in land which he occupies. It should be observed, that merely the certificate will not enable a person to kill game: he must also possess the qualification by ])roperty, which we have already mentioned and explained. If a qualified person sport ivithout a certificate, he is liable to a penalty of twenty pounds; if a non-qualified person kill or hunt for game with a certificate, he still sub- jects himself to a penalty of five pounds. The commissioners for the affairs of taxes must annually insert, in one or more of the newspapers in the county, the names and residences of the persons who have procured certificates. Trespass. This term applies either to qualified or non-quali- fied persons; and means literally the entry of one man upon the grounds of another, without the occu- pier's permission, and doing some damage, however trifling, to his real property, for which an action may be brought, and satisfaction obtained according to the extent of the mischief, or the malicious inten- tion of the trespasser. Nevertheless, in order to prevent, as mudh as possible, vexatious litigation, it is enacted, by 43 Elizabeth and 22 and 23 Charles ll., that where less damages than forty shillings are given by the jury, the plaintiff shall be allowed no more costs than damages; unless (see 8 and 9 Wil- liam and Mary, c. 11) it shall appear that the tres- pass was tvilful and malicious, in which case the plaintiff shall recover full costs of suit. A man becomes a wilful and malicious trespssser, in the legal sense of the term, if he enter again upon the land or manor from which he has been desired, either verbally or by a written notice, to abstain.
