Thank you, Anthony Waterman for your helpful note. 
 
Let add a few words of clarification.  To begin with, Marx and Engels wrote 
virtually nothing and about the Game Laws.  The sources that I used in said 
that the hunters did trample crops, causing considerable damage.  Even 
defenders of the practice, such as Anthony Trollope said that the farmers 
did not mind losing some of their crops.  Anthony W. mentioned that 
protection of game allowed pheasants to consume a great deal of their 
crops.  In addition, the killing of the foxes allowed rodents to multiply 
creating another source of loss. 
 
Marx did write about the deer parks in England had regarded them has largely 
ornamental.  He did so to compare the land taken out of production for deer 
parks with the land accumulated by enclosures.  He claimed that the two 
virtually canceled each other out in.
