THE GAME PEST.

TO THE EDI TOR OF THE SUN.

SIR, hatever may be said of poachers,..theie.pnr-
suits are no more disgraceful than the- 'nobility and
gentry having their slaughter-days. of game. If the•
middle class were to practice this " slaughter." systcm
the higher orders would, at once, be up,in arms through-
out the country.

Laverly I hive taken opportunity, now and' then, to
sound poachers about the sale of game. I have ob-
serv,4l. to them, it is expected a law will be passed that
game-dealers shall only sell game at a very low
The answer has been to the effect, that it would not then
be worth while to go out—the inducemePt would be over.
Butt I have no doubt those afr•cted with the game mania
will cling to the diagraceful preserving and the abomi-
nable gime-laws, just the same as the landholders .will

Inquiry into the game system must be either shallow-
minded or game mad ; the pest is too plain to need a
Commission of Inquiry.

,out-
wards ; a considerable alteration has been made, however,
a the Customs duties."

the same with their bills of lading." This has been consi-
dered necessary, owing to the mistakes and variations that
l),cur sometimes betweon the master's bills of lading and, the
consulate's register of the cargo.
