AGOOd Law.

Among the acts passed by the last Cen
eral Assembly was one "Making it un-
lawful to drive a horse hired from a
liveryman a greater distance of longer
time than that for which the horse is
hired, and requiring every liveryman to
keep register showing to whom every
vehicle is hired, time to be used, distance
to be travelled and the exact hour of the
day or night such vehicle is delivered to
the person hiring it. The fine is So to
$50, or Imprisonment for thirty days or
BOTH"
The purpose of the law is good-the
protection of horses from merciless 'driv-
ing and the according of fair play to the
liveryman. The chief trouble, as is the
case with most of our laws, will be its en-
forcement.
