A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE GAME LAWS UNIV. OF VINNOJITVO BY CHARLES ROW SOLICITOR, NORWICH; SECRETARY TO THE EAST ANGLIAN LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO. 39 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON NEW YORK, BOMBAY, AND CALCUTTA PREFACE. THE reader should understand that this book is not intended as a work on the Game Laws for legal practitioners, but simply one in which an attempt has been made to illustrate what may be considered interesting as well as somewhat instructive to preservers of game and sportsmen generally on questions affecting them from time to time under such laws. Undoubtedly many people are interested in sport and their rights arising in respect of it, and a hazy conception of what the law on the subject actually is, very often causes some anxiety, coupled sometimes with a certain amount of vexation which might with a little consideration be avoided if reference were made to a practical work on the subject. As gamekeepers and police also are often in serious doubt as to their respective powers, rights and possibilities under the Game Laws, in view of their rather complex nature, frequently having to act on the spur of the moment, it is hoped that a perusal of this small book may be of some little assistance to them also. The Editor desires to tender to E. R. Pratt, Esq., of Ryston Hall, Norfolk, his sincere thanks |
