[262]. After stating that “if a man have a beast, as a bull, cow, horse, or dog, used to hurt people, if the owner know not his quality, he is not punishable, &c.,” Hale adds (citing authorities) that “these things seem to be agreeable to law.
“1. If the owner have notice of the quality of his beast, and it doth anybody hurt, he is chargeable with an action for it.
“2. Though he have no particular notice that he did any such thing before, yet if it be a beast that is ferae naturae, as a lion, a bear, a wolf, yea an ape or monkey, if he get loose and do harm to any person, the owner is liable to an action for the damage, and so I knew it adjudged in Andrew Baker’s Case, whose child was bit by a monkey that broke its chain and got loose.
“3. And therefore in case of such a wild beast, or in case of a bull or cow, that doth damage, where the owner knows of it, he must at his peril keep him up safe from doing hurt, for though he use his diligence to keep him up, if he escape and do harm, the owner is liable to answer damages.” 1 Hale’s P. C. 430, Part I, c. 33.—Reporter’s Note.
