DAMMAGE FEASANT.
Dammage Feasant, is when a strangers Beasts are in another mans ground, without lawfull au∣thority or licence of the Tenant of the ground, and there do feed, tread and otherwise spoil the Corn, Grass, Woods, or such like. In which case, the Te∣nant, whom they hurt, may therefore take, distrain, and impound them, as well in the night as in the day; but for rent and services none may distrain in the night season.
He that hath the hurt may take the Beasts as a di∣stress, and put them in a Pound overt, so it be within the same shire, and there let them remain* 1.1 till the owner will make him amends for the hurt: but by the Stature of Queen Mary, the Beasts must not be driven above three miles out of the hun∣dred.
