A Denaby Game Case.

Arthur Beals, labourer, James Bucknall, and Francis Squires, glass blower, were summoned for trespassing in pursuit of game in a stubble field in the occupation of Mr. Spooner, at Denaby, over which the Earl Fitzwilliam has the right of shooting.

On the 8th ult., the men were seen by a keeper named George Earnshaw to go into the Little Wood between Denaby and Kilnhurst, and afterwards into Spooner’s field. Bucknall had a gun, with which he shot a hare; Squires was in possession of a stick, and Beals was watching in the road along with a dog.

Both Beals and Squires denied that Bucknall was present, and they also said that neither of them had a gun, but there was another person present at the time, who had a gun, and who shot at a wood-pigeon but not at a hare.
