[S. F. No. 3679.
    In Bank.
    August 7, 1903.]
    AH KING, Petitioner, v. POLICE COURT OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, Respondent.
    Fish and Game Law—Title of Act—Constitutional Law.—The preservation of fish and game is a single subject of legislation; and the Fish and Game Law is not invalidated by the constitutional provision requiring acts of the legislature to embrace but one subject, to be expressed in their titles.
    PETITION for writ of prohibition to the Police Court of the City and County of San Francisco. E. P. Mogan, Judge.
    The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
    William Hoff Cook, for Petitioner.
    Lewis F. Byington, District Attorney, for Respondent.
   THE COURT.

Petition for writ of prohibition.

The only question to be determined in this case is whether certain statutes relating to the preservation of fish and game are invalidated by the constitutional provision requiring acts of the legislature to embrace but one subject. The contention of the petitioner is, that fish and game are different subjects. The court is of the opinion that the preservation of fish and game is a single subject of legislation, and may properly be embraced in the same act.

Writ denied.
