330 THE GAME LAWS IN THE UNITED STATES, 



pressed my belief that our waters would be benefited 

 by the introduction of new blood into many of them. 

 He grasped the idea at once, and, free of all ex- 

 pense, in a few years supplied the late Mr. Frank 

 Buckland and self with many millions of prcgnated 

 ova of all North America's most valued breeds of 

 fishes. 



An esteemed correspondent honours me by a 

 desire for my advice, how to put a stop to the out- 

 rageous state of the Game Laws in Ireland ? I fear 

 that my poor brains are quite inadequate to the task 

 of solving this or any other question touching upon 

 the Emerald Island. At the same time, I think that, 

 if the detection of poachers were made as remunera- 

 tive to excisemen and constabulary as the detectiorj 

 of illicit distillers, the evil \vould soon cease.
