WATERS-UPTON, Sept. 3, 1796.
ANY Person trespassing upon the Lands of Mr. JOHN WASE, with any Pretence whatsoever, to kill or destroy the Game after this Notice, will be prosecuted as the Law may direct.
Shrewsbury Chronicle, 9 Sep 1795, page 3.
Note: This notice was followed by four more, in respect of the Manor of Emstry; Puleston Manor; the Manors of Rowton and Amaston, Aldon, Neenton, Broughton, Kinnerton and Ryton; and the Manor Brosely; all in Shropshire (place-name spellings as per originals). They stated that as the game in the manors in question had been “much destroyed”, any unqualified persons found killing game on those manors would be prosecuted, and they requested qualified Gentlemen to “forbear Sporting” on them.

Given his place of abode in a Game List of 1802 (see next), I suspect the latter. He was of Waters Upton in 1800, and from 1803.
