Home Dictionary Name: chasingChase
Chase [ fr. Chasse, Fr.], a privileged place for the preservation of deer and beasts of the forest, of a middle nature between a forest and a park. It is commonly less than a forest and not endowed with so many liberties, as officers, laws, courts; and yet it is of larger compass than a park, having more officers an game than a park. Every forest is a chase, but every chase is not a forest. It differs from a park in that it is not enclosed, yet it must have certain metes and bounds, but it may be in other men's ground as well as in one's own, Manw. 49....

Park
Park [fr. parcus, Lat., fr. parco, to spare], a place of privilege for wild beasts of venery, and other wild beasts of the forest and chase; who are to have a firm place and protection there, so that no man may hurt or chase them without licence of the owner. A park differs from a forest, in that, as Compton observes, a subject may hold a park by prescription or royal grant. It differs from a chase because a park must be enclosed; if it lie open, it is a good cause of seizing it into the sovereign's hands, as a free chase may be if it lie enclosed. To a park three things are required-1st, a grant thereof; 2nd, enclosure by pale, wall, or hedge; 3rd, beasts of a park, such as buck, does, etc.; see Sir Charles Howard's case, 1626 Cro Car 59; Pease v. Courtney, (1904) 2 Ch 509. The word 'park,' as used in the (English) Settled Land Acts, is not confined to an ancient legal park but includes an ordinary private park (Pease v. Courtney).Royal Parks.-As to the management of the royal parks s...

Deer-leap, or deer's-leap
Deer-leap, or deer's-leap. The term apparently means two things: (1) generally, a strip running outside the paling of an ancient park, its breadth being the supposed distance a deer could leap; (2) a right enjoyed by the owner of a park which adjoins a forest or chase to maintain a high bank from which the deer out of the forest or chase could leap down into his park and be unable to get back again-in fact, a species of deer-trap. See Notes and Queries, Sec. Series, vol. iii., p. 195; Third Series, vol. xii., p. 186. Hence it is sometimes identified with freeboard, which see....
Forest
Forest [fr. foresta, Ital.], an incorporeal hereditament, being the right or franchise of keeping, for the purpose of venery and hunting, the wild beasts and fowls of forest, chase, park, and warren (which means all animals pursued in field sports), in a certain teritory or precinct of woody ground and pasture set apart for the purpose, with laws and officers of its own, established for protection of the game, Manw.
