socie.
Jostyeph Newetead, assistant in the Pied newspaper offlos,

proved that his attention was directed by a man named
Turner to the fact that there was a black•cock banging up in
defendant's shop. Wines, went there, and, inquiring the
price of it, was informed by a person in the shop (deft ndant's
wife) that it was 6s. Wittier observed, " That is verz
dear to which she repbed, " Ob, no; grouse is es. dd.
The Purchase was then made.
James Turner, who stated that he was a game•dealer ant
of employ, living "hers, there, and everywhere," hut at w-

The ciandant said he wee not prepared to deny the alleged

Into the basket and was put op among the grouse for sale
without being noticed.
Mr. Henry—l think your wife was aware of it from her
remark that grouse was as. 6d.," showing that she, at any
rate, was aware of the distinction.
The defendant—l csnnot help thinking that this is a very
arbitrary mounding. Everybody in the trade is In the same
position, and if you prosecute one you ought to proem:dr
another. . .

Mr. Orridge said it was the avowed object and aim of the
association to prosecute every case that came under their
notice, and they would feel indebted to any game-dealer or
other person who would supply them with any information.
A gentleman in the court, who said he was connected with
a game-dealer's society, begged to express his belief that the

your donation at 346, Strand. It will be to the interest of
the pine-desks, to support tie, in the long run.
The defendant—Well, let the cam be decided—l want to
