(Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, s. 76)If a squatter wrongfully encloses a bit of waste land, and builds a hut on it, and lives there, he acquires an estate in fee-simple by his own wrong iin the land which he has enclosed.

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...
