[Atlantic v. Gotham 10/25/1858] The ground upon which the match was played we understood to be a public one, where the rights of players are equal. It is by no means of even surface, and must militate strongly against a strange club. Within the limits of an ordinary playing field passes a rail fence, enclosing the private property of an individual. He was present inside of his own enclosure, in the way of the players, and when desired to leave he declined. This lot should not have been considered a portion of the field, and balls struck there should have been decided foul.
