QUAILs, PARTRIDGES AND PLEAS
ANTS ARE PROTECTED FROM THE
HUNTsMAN.-Now that the cunning
season is near at hand, there are some
new laws in the interests of
game that may be of benefit to review ::
A special act of the last General Assem-
bly, makes it unlawful for any person
in the State of Delaware to hunt, kill,
take or destroy, sell or expose for sale,
or have in his or her possession, after
the same has been killed, any partridge,
quail, or pheasant before the first day
of November first, A. d. 1894; and
from and after November first 1894, it
shall be unla gful to hunt, kill, take or
destroy, sell or expose for sale, after
the same has been killed, any partridge,
quail or pheasant, except between the
hrst day of November and the first day
OF January in each year, or to hunt,
Kill, take or destroy sell, or expose for
sale, or have in his or Ter possession
after the same has been killed, anv
rabbit, or hare, except between the
first day OfNOvember and the first day
of January in each year. The great
numbers of birds killed by the severe
weather last winter was the cause of
this amendment to the game law of the
State.

BUTLER BACKS OUT.-The Harris in.
junction case came up before Chancel.
lo- WolcOtt Monday. E. G. Brandford.
counsel for Charles Butler, Hall and
CLARK, surrendered the power of at
tOrney calling for the possession of
S32 900 in water bonds now deposited
with the Philadelphia Trust Company.
aud asked the Chancellor to rescind
the present injunction. This the Chan
cellor did and dismissed the case. The
case now stands as it did in the be-
ginning.
FURTHER ABOUT THE WTLL.-Bv
the decision rendered by Chancellor
WOlc0tt, in the Harris Injunction case.
the general opinion in Dover is, that
Charles Butler has won another point
and will be benefited by the decision.
1t is true he surrendered the power of
attorney, by which he came so near
getting the S32, 1000 in water bonds. but
the cOdieil of the will still stands. The
failure to secure a permanent iniunct-
ion restraining Butler aud bis friends
from transaoting Dir. Harris business
will, it is held, allow him (Harris) to
make whatever disposals of his fortune
that he may see at.
Another move has been taken in the
Harris-Butler-H Hall, ct. al. case, this
morning.
