issued the following important order:
HEADERS FIRST MILITARY DISTRICT, !
STATE OF VIRGINIA,

|. It having been reported to these head
quarters that numerous cases have occurred
and are daily occurring, of violation OF State
laws regulating hunting, the attention OF al
concerned is called to the provisions of section
| to inclusive, of chapter l0l Code Of Vlr

thereof entitled IAN act to prevent and pun
ish unlawful hunting" passed February Goth

hunt, shoot or range, with or without dogs, or
the lands of another, without the consent of thu
owner or tenant Of such lands, or shoot along

or village in any of the counties of this Com
monwcalth, or shall fish or fowl on the lands OF

vey Of any proprietor, he shall be deemed gull,

ccssary at all times, arc peculiarly so in the

the destruction of crops in fields which are
hunted and ranged over by idle and irrespons
bic parties. In view Of these facts, all officers
civil and military, in this district, arc enjoincc
to take such measures as will ensure the faith
full observance Of these laws, and prevent, II
future, all illegal hunting, ranging, towling anc
fishing within the limits Of their respective iu
risdictons, and secure the prompt arrest ano
punishment OF all offenders.
,. This order will remain in force until the
first day of October next, or until the laws
above cited shall be repealed by competent au
thority. . ..a.....---. -- 49,.
