OYSTER CuIIers' License.

In response to a letter asking his construc-
ton of section l, chapter $50, of the Acts of
1894, whether an oyster cutler working for
wages is required to have license, Attorney
General Clabaugh wrote that he has been in
formed that the Court has passed upon this
question in Dorchester county. The Court
there held that culling the oysters was part
Of the taking of the oysters, and, therefore,
that anyone engaged in culling was embraced
within the law which required licenses to be
taken out. In view of this decision the At
torney General holds that cullers are COM
PEELED to take out licenses.
