prohibiting the possession of game during the close
season is involved In argued to-day before
the Court of Appeals by Ex-Governor Frank s.
Black for the State. and Louis Marshall and Julius
Orfenbach of New-York, for the defendants. The
appeal arises through an action begun by the
State on August fs 1901, to recover sie8Sl5 penal
flies from, Jacob V, BootTnan and Howard r. Rob-
inson for the possession IN cold storage Of large
quantity Of grouse quail, duck and other wild fowl,
which was seized by the chief game protector OF

The most important OF the questions certified IS

possession OF game out of season without showing

which the penalties are sought TO be collected
makes the mere possession OF the game violation

killed whether within or without the State.
The defence contends that II must be shown that
the game possessed killed within the bounda-
rfes of the State, and that this must be asserted
in the complaint. The case will be continued to-
