John o,Groat,s Houaa.

John o'Gfoat was the reputed build
 sT of the John o'Groat house, the ruins of which are still pointed out at Dun. can's Bay Head, on the northernmost point of the mainland of Scotland. Tradition is not entirely agreed as to the personality of John o'Groat. One legend states that he was a poor man who used to ferry passengers over to the island of Storna for a groat. But the most popular story makes him the descendant of a Hollander, De Groot, who in the reign Of James ". settled fin the vicinity, and it goes on to tell how John and his seven cousins would yearly meet to celebrate the memory of their ancestor and have a yearly quarrel over the question of preced. ence until finally John invented a method of settling the difficulty. He bnilt an eight sided house of one room, with eight windows and eight doors, and an oetagonal table in the center of the room, 30 that all might enter simui- taneousiy, each to his own door. and there might be no head of the table.

The first t.game law" for the nrotee- tion of wild animals and birds was en- acted in 1o68 by William the Conquer or. This decree of the Norman king was called a forest law, but it's prtnct- pal purpose was the preservation of game. Forfeiture of property was made the penalty for killing or dis abling any kind of wild beast. while the slayer of stag, buck or hear. if convicted. had his eyes put cut. These laws, of courEe, applied only to the masses, since the royalty and nobility were permitted to kill as much as they pleased. In fact, the principal purpose or the pioneer game law. wss to pro- vide sport for the few. The first par iiamentary game law in England was pasaed in 1898.
