JUGGED—is a professional or technical term with the horse-dealing and
stabularian fraternity; and implies a horse's having tumefactions,
indurated or inflammatory, under the jaws. But when used in a more
serious and emphatic sense among themselves, it is to convey an idea,
that the horse said to be _jugged_, is infected with the GLANDERS.
JUSTICE—was a horse of considerable note both as a RUNNER and a
STALLION: he was bred by the late LORD GROSVENOR; was foaled in 1774;
got by _Herod_, out of _Curiosity_, (who was got by _Snap_,) her dam by
_Regulus_, and grand-dam by Bartlet's _Childers_. Without obtaining any
distinguished celebrity, he for many years maintained his ground as a
stallion above mediocrity, and produced some tolerable racers: amongst
the best of which were _Æacus_, _Mentor_, _Minos_, _Rhadamanthus_,
_Dedalus_, and _Midnight_.

KEEPERS—are of different kinds, acting under different appointments, as
servants of the Crown, or of individuals. There are FOREST-keepers,
PARK-keepers, and GAME-keepers, whose employments are distinct and
separate from each other. It is the province of the first to protect and
superintend the DEER in any one of his Majesty's forests, to which he is
appointed, and to become a principal instrument of enforcing the laws
enacted for its preservation, against depredators of every description.
PARK-keepers are retained in the service of NOBLEMEN and GENTLEMEN who
have parks stocked with deer, having the same perquisites and privileges
as those employed in the service of the Crown; their employment is
principally to superintend, preserve, and regulate the stock, as well as
to kill BUCKS, DOES, and FAWNS, according to the season, when required
for the table; which can never be done by any PARK-keeper of the CROWN,
without the receipt of a proper WARRANT previously issued from superior
authority for that purpose. GAME-keepers are employed in various
forests, parks, chases, free-warrens, and manors, the property of the
Crown, to furnish a constant supply of game for his Majesty's table and
household, under such regulations as prevent the possibility of too
great an influx at one time, and too short a supply at another. Every
LORD or LADY possessing a manor within any part of the kingdom, has the
power of appointing a person, under the denomination of a GAME-keeper,
to protect, preserve, or KILL any kind of GAME upon the particular MANOR
for which he is appointed; and to execute and enforce all such other
manorial rights and privileges within the department, as may be
submitted to his delegation; he first conforming to the LEGAL
prescription, before he can be confirmed, or qualified to act in the
office to which he has been deputed.—See GAME-LAWS, and GAME-KEEPERS.
