“Dog-draw is an apparent deprehension of an offender against venison in the forest. There are four kinds of them observed by Manwood, part. 2, cap. 18, num. 9, of his Forest Laws, that is, dog-draw, stable-stand, back-bear, and bloody-hand. Dog-draw is, when one is found drawing after a deer by the scent of a hound led in his hand.” Termes de la Ley 181 (1st Am. ed. 1812).
