The Game Laws.

EDITORS JOURNAL There seems to be some
misapprehenslon in the minds of some in regard
to what was meant, In framing the Game Laws,
by the term Plover. | Will here say, for the
benefit of the sporting fraternity and the public
generally, that Plover was not mentioned in the
Game Laws when reported to the last Legislature;
that amendment was brought forward by MIR.
Dana of Portland. providing for a close season
for plover. | asked him what birds he intended
to rott ct by The amend nent; hi, reI y was that
il was solely to protect Sea Power, which abound
on the sea coast aud had nothing to do with up
land Plover, Which are found in the interior of
tue State. Upland Plover needs no protection by
legislative enactment. If any one can succeed IN
sbooting them to any great extent. they can do
better than | can: at any rate, no protection was
int nded by the present law. aud will agree to
defend any action brought az sinst any person for
shooting them. If The Attorney General wa.
called upon to construe the law, 1t would be his
duty to find out what was intended in making the
law, and conslrue it accordu gly. make this ex-
PLANTATION, that all who wish may hunt upland
Plover without fear of breaking the law.
