The Rabbit Case.

Prosecutor Samuel E. Perry, of Allan
tic City, applied to Judge Reed, in Cam
den, on Saturday, for writ of certiorari
to set aside the decision Of the Atlantic
County Court of Common Pleas in the
case of Lewis Stueber. Stueber. who is
an Atlantic City grocer, was fined 1925
by Recorder Gouldey for selling rabbits
out of season. The common Pleas
Court set aside the decision on the
ground that Steuber bought the rabbits
in Philadelphia and they had been killed
in Illinois.
Prosecutor Perry contends that the
decision of the lower court made it pos
siblc to kill game out of season and ship
it to another state and then bring it
it back again without being liable to a
fine. Decision was reserved.
The decision will be of interest to all
sportsmen and game shippers in New
Jersey.
