THE GAME ,LAWS.

To the Ardilov%

Sir.—Lord Onuwille hit the rlgtit.nall on the head when
he said that rabbits were the chief siquros of the outery
against the (hens Laws, and there is not a doubt Gut
but for their dewmativenese and t hat of bares, we
should have infinitely fewer faults I 0 find with the
operation of the game laws, even &lam mh they do form
• monnant of the feudal I,seeiu. The pt alum! of thou-
sands of cores is annually either destroy ea' or immensely
diminished by the attack, of these man ode. Nothing
ear be possibly more disheartening to •fa maw than to
see Jude, on which his capitol and indosti 7 hew" been
expended, lusd week* by their depredations, and, as far
as rabbits are rioncerned, tenants are not i. o the least
likely to concur with Lord Granville's noble f. !lend. who
declared they would be perfect little creatures were the?
onls • few inches longer! In point of fact, bow over, it..
hoc-on-est to associate rabbits with thorium IOW! They
belong to that class of firm natera, which it nap urea D.
royal license to destroy, and it is from the move' xtionel
system of protection, which respects them equally with
animals recognised by law as game, that our to tent
farmers are suffering grevions injustice in all part I of
the kingdom. Our French neighbours seem to be fell ow
madame, and • very recent Ausision of the Imperi el
Court of Lyons euggeels • remedy we might adopt wit,
advantage. But rabbits In warrens are classiged a.'
noxious animals, and such persons as have sustained
dainnis by them are permitted to best them with
ferrets atoll seasons. But if with us, according to the
existing state of things, rabbits are not game, the
question naturally occurs, why may not the sufferer*
take matters into their own hands, and put their down'
Jost because, by the most stringent regulations, the game
Protecting portion of the squirearchy debar their tenants
from any attempt whatever to doe.- In a multitude of
reuse pesaing under my noties this is so. No shooting
is allowed, and no netting; and even where specisl
covenants do not exist, and • landlord, by merely verbal
communication mimeos and requires bin tenant to pro-
tect rebbita, it is easy to foresee the consequences likely
to result when the latter disobeys and protects himself.
No penal law Call reach this net a/ self-defence. but theirs
is a severing of 'sordid relotions between him and his
thief, and probably keepers are made te annoy him in •
hundred way.. If ba is • Woment at will, be mud he
got rid of to make way for a more anbssinsiv• summon
The system of mob protection elwrie• oppression and

bu-sinoni--;;E;oonsi—sder a letter from the
Chief Constable of Tlonset, suggesting that it would be
advantageons to light the lamps in the main thorough.
fares of Portland during the winter months.
_

Mr. iiIND/l we. oppoied to lighting a portion of the
lamps tad charging the ratepayern with the cost; but
had no objection to the Trustees of the grant lighting •
part end defraying the expense from the grant.
Mr. Fuse thought the trustees ahoalill be asked to
light the whole of under hilL
Mr. IL COLLINS con.idered that they should be asked
to light the whole; but
. . .

M 1 . Pearce thought that it would be a dog-in-the-
iminpr policy to relax a part if they could mit hare
the whole.
_

Mr. Counts said if the trustees wished to light
Fortune's Well they could do it ; but be did not think
the Board had • right to iuk them to do less than the
whole.

Mr. (Mots considered it wrong to saddle the people
throughout the ilistriet with a rate they could not afford
to pay, for lighting the lamps in some parts. The Local
Board rate was very different from the poor rate,
which wee to maintain the poor, and not to impoverish
them.

It was ultimately agrred that the Clerk should write
to the Chief Constable, and inform him that the
question of lighting the under bill had been before the
Board some time ago, and it bad been decided not to
make a rate for the purpose.

HOW THE MONEY GOES.

To Use Bailor.

Dear Sir.-1 and my brother ratepayers were much
surprised on reading Mr. Mandeld's letter in your last
Telegram to find that our money is being so agundered.
I was not aware but that the seventy guineas given
to Mr. Mellish would be included in the costs against
the lo.ing party.
I wish to thank Mr. Manfield for this valuable infor-
mation, and at the same time I will ask you through
I your columns to permit me to do what he has left
I undone, namely to propose a remedy. I say to every
inhabitant,do something , o eheislisneh extravagance. Let
a meeting of the ratepayers be called to protest against
such red-tepe-ism.
When we sent our representatives to the council
chamber was it not with a view to protect the rate-
peyers pockets. But, oh dear! What do we find?
First, we are told that our rights under the charters
mart be preserved in order to take the tolls. Now, alas!
Where are we? Why we find that the charters
give us ne toilet all except upon grain, and this toll
upon grain our wise-acres never take! Where
was the wisdom of the council to rush into • law suit
under the pretence of establishing a toil by charter, and
then dinging over the question of toil altoptber?
What good can ever result to the ratepayers from an
action for obstructing the markets brought against two
men who (to say the least of them) have done more good
to Dorchester than any other two men in It? I elle& to
the improvement In Sonth-street, and the still more im-
portant pecuniary improvement to the trade generally by
drawing such numbers to the town as these sales have done.
It is dishonest to say there is damage done to our markets,
when we know that before Mr. Eosor started his sales
there were scarcely any markets it all, and now our
fortnightly market is ten times larger than the
oldest inhabitant ever sew before the auctions. It is
idle to toppooo that the farmer, would bring their stock
to Dorchester but for these auctions.
What are we waiting for? The Council tell us for •
decision, but they omit to may that such decision cannot
Pr&be more than a stepping stone to farther sods.
• sionvescanice with one if the defeadaats this
morning, and found to my disgust that up to the present
time not • single witness has bees examined on the
part of tbe defendants, although there are upwards of
fifty waiting ready to disprove much of what the other
aide are said to have proved. Audi afterwas parent, and
then we may judge how the ease stint&
A borough rate is rumoured because we haven't rates
enough elresdy. The last borough rate was quashed,
sad I doubt not that if injustice be not allowed to reign
triamphant the next will be also gnashed.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,

THE CROUPIERS AT_HOMBURG GAMBLING

TABC6i:

They take their "turns" as though they were re-
porters In the gallery of the House of Commons; bat,
Inekier than the reporter., they have no "turns" to
" write out." While off duty they lounge about the
foresee or the ball-room, and they generally give one
the impression of being anxious to get to work again.
While at their posts they are invariably civil and
obliging, and will readily useept • pinch of snuff. With
some of the old players they are quite on confidential
terms, and are the objects of many condeseending
wittatarries on the part of the recoil,: from Paris.
mademoiselle de la Ceinture Dore° —nee Cabochon

smiles upon him. He obliges her sometimes with •
friendly wink. When she wins he bands her her money
with an air—nay, will arrange her doable Fredericks
for her la symmetrical piles. He waits patiently until
she has made her game; and Mademoiselle is sometimes
an inconceivably long time making it, hesitating fear-
folly as to the number or the colour, the parse or the

She "te the croupier's advice sometimes. He iihrogs
his shoulders blandly, end takes snuff. The ball rolls,
or the cards are counted, and the poor little wretch of

all her blandishments, will mollify her friend the
croupier, or stay the merciless rake which sweeps away
her double Fredericks. To strive toooneiliate a evoupier Is,

RICK FIRE AT KEYNESTON.

On Thursday afternoon three rick. of winter oats, the
property of Mr. E. Gslpin, of this village, were diss
envsred to be on fire, oaf though
made to stop the progress of the flames, there being but
• short supply of water, the wh le wits eonsumeil. The
Blsodford fire brigade and cosine were quickly on the
spot. T..e origin of the fire. is suppossd to have been
through the burning of some docks and other weeds, the
flame from which set the adjseent stubble on fire, and
communicated with the ricks, on the opposite side of
the fold. Ihe loss is estimated at about £2OO. Mr.
Galpiti is itisured in the London. Liverpool, aid Globe
office.

PRICSTLY INToutinwt—A feet days ago Her Royal
Highness the enooel Mazy of Teck laid the founds-
tion•stone of • new church at Richmond, the ground for
which was given by Chief-Jo/kiss Selwyn. Tim church
wee projected long before Om appointment of the
present vicar (the Rev. C. T. Procter), and approved by
the late much-beloved incumbent (the Rey. H.
Dupuis), to oisot the want' of • lergely.increesing
neighbourhood, and in the poorest district of the perish.
The committee desired the bells of the parish to be
rung on the ooes-ion out of revpect to Her Multi
Highness Princess Mary, but the Vioar would not slow
it—a curious way of showing his loyally to the Rivyal
family, and his desire for church extension!
