The practice WAS brought to the at

OF The Code makes il unlawful at any

Mr.. BAILEY was IN a quandary oh
viouslv the nest robbers did no, kill
the birds themselves. Neither did they
actually destroy the nests They took
away the eggs. but the Law only

Here was knotty question Who was

THOSE WHO TAKE EGGS

The question was too much for Com
missioner Parsons, and he passed il
along to Acknowledgement Pollard. The
Acknowledgement held tho nest robbers
responsible for tho destruction Of the
bird homes, and Commissioner Par
sons issued instructions accordingly to
Game Warden Bailey.
Certainly either the party who took
tho eggs from tho nest or the party
who actually destroyed tho eggs has
violated tho law. and It may he that
both have. ruled tho Attorney General.
The manifest purpose of tho law is
TO protect wild birds and TO protect
their nesting and Matching so that the
wild bird life OF the State might he
propagated instead OF destroyed"
This being the manifest purpose OF
the law. ! think II is the duty OF your
department 10 hold that persons talk
ing cIEs from tho nests OF wild birds
have destroyed the nests within rho
meaning Of tho act. and to proceed
upon this hypothesis until tho courts
