Dy no means exhaustive Of the argument in favor Of
the abolition OF the fence law 1t is alleged the
saaS 9cates Of tho; fence systemi1 y,- .e,asy ~.
That there hee many poor persona who town
lew head OF cattle, and do not sufficient guam
tyot end TO pasture them on, and That such small
amdhaldarAf the fcDce lawi repealed will be COM
peed to sell their cattle for what they will bring or
aetihe starve; andtlut this alternative must surely
o:onrt the large number who own stock; but have
no land at all.
3D. That there arc lnrge tracts OF land such "A our
pine baTropa NnQ wet. bottoms, that are lit only fur
and that little fence law Is repealed, cannot
be htilized as at present. TfLt :
81. That many small landed prOprictors cannot
keep their necessary stock enclosed In pastures for
want Of localities supplied with water and that such
mutt be greatly injured II obliged by law to maintain
close pastures.
The answer to tho first objection may 10 found In
the following Legitimate deduction from the prinri-
pie on which 1t seems to DO based:
