*** Nothing has yet been done with the game laws! the new 

 bill having long ago been thrown out in the House of Lords by a 

 majority of fifteen. Instead, therefore, of having any new acts to 

 abridge (except one 9 Geo. IV.), I hare only to reprint again my 

 former extracts from the old rhapsody. 



IT is now to be anxiously hoped that these laws, as 

 well as many others, may be brought under some re- 

 vision of the legislature, and reduced into one act of 

 the present reign, sufficiently comprehensive to include 

 every thing that is useful or desirable in such a code ; 

 and to exclude every thing that is obsolete, or inap- 

 plicable to the present time, and which is only calcu- 

 lated to mislead, or ensnare the unwary ! 



No matter what any laws were ; the desideratum is 

 to know what they now are. But, from a superfluous 

 introduction of repealed statutes, it not only becomes a 

 business of time to wade through volumes on the sub- 

 ject, but it requires some attention to discriminate, 

 which of the laws are in force at the present day ; and 

 they are sometimes misunderstood from the very pre- 

 ambles, that are intended to prevent their being so. 

 It is,. therefore, much to be wished, that some gentle- 

 man in the profession would favour us with a moderate 

 sized publication, wherein nothing is inserted but that 

 by which we may now be guided with safety.
