Keen v Whistler: 1795

Trespass for chasing his cow, and his domestic fowls, viz. hens, geese, and co. with dogs, which dogs were used to bite tame fowl, by whose biting they were killed. On not guilty, verdict for the plaintiff; and he had his full costs, because this is not a trespass wherein the right of the freehold may come in question.
