subject OF game passed by the General As
sembly at its last session permitted the
killing OF partridges IN all counties east OF
the Blue Ridge between the 18th OF Oeto-
ber and the 18th Of January. Subsequent
investigation has convinced me that l
was mistaken III the belief that this
general law applied TO Henrico. This act
contains provision that 1t shall not apply
10 any county having special game law.
unless by consent OF the Board OF Superyl-
sors Of such county There was an act OF
the General Assembly (Which had over
