THE COTTAGE GARDENER AND COUNTRY GENTLEMAN’S COMPANION.— July 22. 1850. 
302 
the names of the leading noblemen and gentlemen of the 
county, got a number of poultry fanciers to send their birds, 
awarded the prizes, sold as many birds as possible, and then 
(using a sporting phrase) bolted. Yet these men are 
allowed to send their poultry to other Shows the same as 
any one else. Now, I propose this :—Brother Victims, form 
yourselves into a body, and proceed by law against each sepa¬ 
rate member of the Shrewsbury Poultry Show committee; 
and if the law orders not payment of our lights, then let Us 
publicly advertise them in all parts of England. Shut them 
out from our Shows ; in fact, serve them as defaulters. By, 
and only by, such means shall we keep these disgraceful 
proceedings from our poultry records. This is my plan. 
If any of you will give your plan, with the leave of Mr. 
Editor, let us have it next week.—A Brother Victim.
