By an indenture dated 1921 I`s predecessors in title granted a plot of land to F for 99 years subject to a reservation in respect of `all game woodcocks, snipe ... ` and the exclusive right of `hunting shooting and fishing coursing and sporting over and on` the land. I sought a declaration that F was not entitled to hunt or take any deer from the land on the grounds that they fell under the expression `all game`. The court held that what fell under "game" depended upon the usages in existence at the time of the grant and therefore did not include deer. I`s appeal was dismissed.
