Property In Fish and Game.

-------------------
Property In Fish and Game.
II it was the common law that hens,
chickens, turkeys and geese belonged TO no
body; that anybody might kill and eat
them at pleasure, il would not be long be-
fore the race of domestic fowls would be- |
come extinct. Nobody would dare TO leave |
an egg in q nest, lest seine one else should |
get it ; or leave a half-ripe chicken on the
roost, lest some one else should pick it. |
Every man would slay all he could lay his
hands on. Or il it was the common law that |
sheep and lambs belonged to nobody, It |
would be impossible to preserve them from
utter destruction. Each man. when he saw
sheep or lamb, would take it and seques-
ter it for his own use, lest his neighbor
should get the start of him.
There is no common or statute law protect
ing fish and game. Therefore our fish aud
game are rapidly disappearing in fact, have
almost entirely been exterminated. No man
who discovers a trout, however small-the
salmon and shad long ago were destroyed
