arrested game bag was found, in which was
concealed young turkey which belonged to
Mr.. Binkley. Brodbeck alleged that the bag did
not belong to him, but as no one else was seen in

THE RIGHTS OF FOX HUNTERS.
a case was tried, last week, in the Talbot Co..
Nd, courts which elected considerable interest
on tho part OF outsiders as it involved the right of
hunters to pass through farms without the con-
seat of the proprietor while following fox. An
idea seems to have prevailed that the law pro
tected the hunters and that they possessed the
right to go where they pleased SO long as no up-
usual or unnecessary damage was DONE The
Court, however, decided that no such right ex-
isted, and that hunters could not pass over lands
without the consent of the owner.

in lasting peace, and then 'Othellos occupation
