The claimant sought possession of land occupied by the defendant nomadic people. Part of the land only had been occupied by the defendants.
Held: An order for possession could be granted not only of the land occupied, but also the remainder of the land. The Court of Appeal ordered that the Secretary of State ‘do recover’ the other woods, and that each of the defendants ‘be restrained from entering upon, trespassing upon, living on, or occupying’ any of the other woods.
