Direction: Read the passage and answer the following.

LORD DENNING; In summertime village cricket is the delight of everyone.
Nearly every village has its own cricket field where the young men play and the old
men watch. In the village of Lintz in County Durham they have their own ground,
where they have played these last seventy years. They tend it well. The wicket area is
well rolled and mown. The outfield is kept short. It has a good club-house for the
players and seats for the onlookers. The village team play there on Saturdays and
Sundays. They belong to a league, competing with the neighbouring village. On other
evenings after work they practice while the light lasts. Yet now after these 70 years a
Judge of the High Court has ordered that they must not play there anymore, He has
issued an injunction to stop them. He has done it at the instance of a newcomer who is
no lover of cricket. This newcomer has built, or has had built for him, a house on the
edge of the cricket ground which four years ago was a field where cattle grazed. The
animals did not mind the cricket. But now this adjoining field has been turned into a
housing estate. The newcomer bought one of the houses on the edge of the cricket

Page 20

ground. No doubt the open space was a selling point. Now he complains that, when a
batsman hits a six, the ball has been known to land in his garden or on or near his
house. His wife has got so upset about it that they always go out at weekends. They
do not go into the garden when cricket is being played. They say that this is
intolerable. So they asked the Judge to stop the cricket being played. And the Judge,
feels that the cricket must be stopped: with the consequences, I suppose the Lintz
cricket-club will disappear. The cricket ground will be turned to some other use. I
expect for more houses or a factory. The young men will turn to other things instead
of cricket. The whole village will be much the poorer. And all this because of a
newcomer who has just bought a house there next to the cricket ground.
