The following is the petition to which C1scISNAru
alluCes in our last
ITO the Senate and House Of Representatives of TIL
i State Of DeLaDare, IN General 4sSembiy met.
The Petition Of the Subscribers Respectfully she,veth,
/ That the protection Of the citizen, in his right.
IS trust at all times important; but particularly SC
when those rights are to be supported, consonan
with the principles of Republican Institutions
FOUNDED upon this basis is the right to the enjoy
ment OF property. To possess it peacefully; to hol
at free from encroachments of every kind; and /
apply it undisurbed, to the use Of the possessor,
a right acknowledged by all.
This trust the citizens Of Delaware have coniide
ito you:-and the petitioners ask your protection
against practice which conflicts with private right
and which IN their estimation, requires Legislative
aid 10 suppress.
The practice of which we complain is, that stran
gers and Others enter the enclosures of our peace
u inhabitants for the purpose of shooting bird, ant
Ioiher game, thereby subjecting the ;iller of tht
igfound TO serious inconvenience and not uaireQueDt
Iy 10 damage-his crops trodden down, his beast
are endangered, and as guns are often found in III,
hands OF the rash and inexperienced, the lives o
our citizens are not at all times secure. The shoot
ing of guns on near the public highway is in lk,
manner dangerous and even more so, as it sublect
the traveller to the additional lsque of consequen
ces arising from an aiilightcd and UNCOVER nab
animal. But TO narrate long list Of grievances
that this practice Of shooting guns creates, is no
the intention of your petitioners--they presum
that the members of your body, in common will
our other rejecting fellow citizens have el
the evil.
The petitioners therefore, respectfully solicit, til,
passage Of a law, prohibiting gaming or the shoot
ing OF guns, on any enclosed lands within the State
OF Delaware, without permission in writing first be
ing obtained from the owner or acceptant Of sucl
lands, and prohibiting altogether, the shooting o
guns within such distance Of the public highways a.
Iyou shall see proper to limit under such penaltir
las your enlightened wisdom shall determine to in
flict. And your petitioners as in duty bound vii
ever pray.
