Astrology and magic were fashionable
at the time, and Egypt was the home
of these arts. Hence the gypsies were at
first welcomed and made much of. But

But the act did not succeed. In l554,
the first year of Philip and Mary, a faI
more stringent law was framed. 1t says
that, in spite of the previous ordinance,
divers Of the said company not fear
ing the penalty Of the said statute, have

son bringing n gypsy into the country
would be fined $40, while any gypsy re-

month was to be deemed a feIon, to sur
fer death and loss OF goods, and to lose
the privileges OF sanctuary and clergy.

TROUT POND DECISION.
The supreme Court Passes on the Game
Law.

The supreme court has passed
upon the case Of the state vs. W. F.
Dolan, which was put through the
lower courts and appealed to the
higher tribunal for the purpose Of
testing the cOnstitutionality Of the
state game and Ash Law as bearing on
the sale of Bsh taken from what were
understood 70 be private ponds.
Dolan was tried In the district
court in May last on the charge Of
offering for sale trout that had been
taken from the ponds Of Robert
Osborn in Fremont county, where
this species of ish lie propagatsd and
raised. The nsh were shipped to
Boise and there offered for sale by
Dolan. The trial resulted In the
conviction Of Dolan aud q nne Of
$40 was imposed. The case was then
appealed to the supreme court, It be-
ing the belief Of those interested that
the case In question did not come
within the provisions of the Law for
the protection Of the Dish Of the state.
Under the law the court holds Il
Is permissible for the owner Of any
private pond ta--PropoRats food fishes
therein, provided the pond in ques-
tiou Is a place where food fishes do
not naturally abound and the owner
may himself sell the product Of the
pond directly to consumers; but IL
Is a misdemeauoT tor any other per
son or persons or company to trans
port or offer Tor sale Of the products
Of the pond.
The supreme court affirmed the
judgment Of the lower court ia the
case, holding that the pond from
which the hsh IN question wer'
taken was not a private pond within
the meaning OF the Law.
The pond, in Fremont county, Ii
made by dammiug a creek which Ii
