The Hoe AND GERsE Laws BY law of the
Corporation 1t Is made unlawful for hogs and
geese to 20 at large and any person is authorized
to seize such geese and carry them to the Asylum
for the use Of the poor at the Infirmary and the
person delivering them is entitled to twenty-five
cents for every goose. About the 18th of July some
boys drove nineteen of them to the Asylum and
the lntendant not being present they were told to
come In the afternoon for their certificates They
went and were told that the attendant did not
receive any geese now, the Mayor had stopped
that SO the boys did not get their pay. This
good news was soon circulated abroad aTnon0
owners OF pigs and geese, and the idea was that
the law had been annulied. Afterwards how
ever, member Of the City Councils was notified
that the police and their paid assistants had driven
70 The Asylum about one hundred and forty oeese
besides great number of pigs The question al
once arose in his mind Has the Mayor the right
10 suspend the operation of law for any length of
time at pleasure ~ The result Of this refusal IN
receive the nineteen geese from the bows was
greater haul by the police when they turned ont
Tor the owners thought their fowls safe and did
not secure them. If the Mayor has not the rigbt
the Chief of Police certainly has not and this
mistake has operated as a ira to catch a greater
number OF pigs and geese than would have been
TAKEN under the usual circumstances There is
great want of light from the authorities ON t!tbs
