Volume z, Revised Statutes 1893,
(Cnmlnal Statutes) be amended by
Inserting between tho word Spar
trldgo' and the word "any," on line
three, the following, "and it shall be
unlawful for any person to sell, offer
for salo, or ship or export for sale,
any partridge or quail for the spuce
OF five years from the approval Of
this Act: provided, nothing in this
Act shall prevent importations for
sale of any partridges or quail" SO
that the said section, when SO amend
ed, shall read as follows:
Section 43l. 1t shall not be law
fnl for any porson, except upon his
own lands or upon tho lands Of an
other with the consent Of the owner
thereof, to net or trap any partridge,
and it shall be unlawful for any per-
SOD to sell, offer for sale or ship ur
export for sale any partridge or quail
for the space Of five years from the
approval Of this Act: Provided, that
nothing in this Act shall prevent the
importation for sale Of any partridge
or quail. Any person violating this
section shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor and, upon conviction. shall
be punished by fine Of not exceed
ing thirty dollars, or by imprison.
ment in the county jail for a term
not exceeding thirty days.
Section 432 provides that sit shall
not be lawful for any person in this
State, between the first day Of April
and the first day Of November, in
year hereafter, to catch, kill or in
jure, or to pursue with such intent,
or to sell or expose for sale, any wild
turkey, partridge, quail woodcock or
pheasant" Il !:
AS will be seen by the foregoing
there appears to be enough law to
prohibit the capture of partridges
for sale or export; and yet it would
seem that the hotel and restaurant
people, as we'll as the commission
houses, could ''import' from other
States during the proper season.
However, this is the outlook Of such
other States, the object of the South
Carolina game laws being to protect
the game of this State.
