in turn, contended that he was entitled to retain possession of 

 game. The Act gave a person a right to remain in possession of 

 game, but it was to be subject to certain restrictions if imposed. 

 If the Act provided that a person could not take delivery of game 

 until certain restrictions were imposed by the Governor in Council, 

 then, if no conditions or restrictions were imposed, he would not 

 be able to take delivery of the game at all. The person already 

 had the game, and if no restrictions were imposed as to the mode 

 of keeping the game, he could continue to i^emain in unrestricted 

 possession of it. The order nisi was discharged, and the decision 

 of the justices was upheld. — Melbourne Argtis.
