173 COLONEL HANGER TO 



REMARKS ON THAT UNJUSTIFIABLE AND 

 UNGENTLEMANLIKE. ACT OF LAYING 

 POISON IN PLANTATIONS, NEAR THE 

 HIGH ROADS, TO POISON TRAVELLING 

 sportsmen's DOGS. 



I cannot Gonclude this publication 

 without expressing my abhorrence of a most 

 cruel, unjustifiable, and ungentlemanhke 

 practice, which I have too often observed 

 in travelling the king's high roads in 

 Suffolk and Norfolk ; — • namely, thus 

 written up on boards : Poison for dogs 

 IS laid in this PLANTATION. Before I 

 proceed further on this subject, I recom- 

 mend to those persons who call th^nlselves 

 gentlemen, v/ho sanction such an outra- 

 geous and unjustifiable act, to consult their 

 own personal feelings, and study that golden 

 rule, which tl^e good Roman Emperor 

 Alexander, the son of Mammia, had 

 engraved on the avenues leading to his 

 palace, and in all the public courts of jus- 

 tice : Alteri ne feceris ouid tibi 

 fieri non vis ; and that divine, moral.
