OYSTER FISHERY LEGISLATION. 1O2J 



(and, I should think, from the point of view of anyone who 

 desires to understand them), there is much to be mended 

 in their form. But with all their faults, they are a faiily 

 creditable specimen of the manner in which that complex 

 and overburdened instrument of government, the Parlia- 

 ment of the United Kingdom, contrives as it were from 

 hand to mouth, and almost without knowing it, to keep 

 abreast of the multifarious wants and grievances of a state 

 of society which its founders could never have imagined.
