SHOOTING MOORS LIABLE TO

POOR-RATES.

The Parochial Board of Kingussie and Insh held an
adjourned meeting on the 15th December last, for the
purpose of imposing a new assessment for the support of
the poor, for the year 1847. The meeting was interest.
ing on two grounds. Ist, By an unanimous resolution
to alter the mode of assessment, and to classify agri-
cultural and other tenants alike. In 1846, the occupants
of houses in the villages of Kingussie, Newtonmore, and
Insh were triply assessed. The poor mechanics and
labourers felt this as a great hardship. 2d, It was re-
solved that the respective heritors of lands should be
required to produce rent-rolls of their estates, including
the rent of the shootings. The Board came to this
decision on the principle argued in the House of Lords,
and sustained by their Lordships, in the case of Mac
pherson v. Craigie, on the 13th August last—viz., that
the profits produced by the sale of shootings formed part
of the rental of an estate, liable to the usual burdens
imposed upon rent. Lords Brougham, Cottenham, and
Campbell were unanimous in their opinion, and gave
their decision without starting a single doubtful point.
Hitherto the system of allowing the profits of shootings
to pass untaxed for the support of the poor has been
general, but there is now a clear decisive example to
encourage pirocial boards to assess for the poor both
the landlord and his southron friends, who for a brief
season sojourn among our wilds in pursuit of game, and
thus to a certain extent relieve the industrious hard-
wrought rate-payer. It is argued that, in the preamble
of the new Act, where " lands and heritages " are de-
fined, while " fishings, fresh-waters," &c., are made
assessable for the purposes of this Act, no mention is
madeo
of
gameshootings, and that therefore they are
excluded. Though no lawyer of common sense, legally
confirmed by the decision above referred to, teaches
that " grouse and ptarmigan, hare and conies," &c., are
as much the live produce of the land, as are the sheep
