PRESERVER OF BIRDS.

Here I find that the man is Mr. Leadbeater, 19, Brewer Street, Golden Square, who stuffs for Her Majesty, the British Museum, and the Zoological Society; but whose competitors, since he left Mr. Bullock's, had reported him dead. For this reason, it became my duty to let the public know that "poor Mr. Leadbeater" was, and I am happy to add he still is, alive and well; and stuffs better and cheaper than any one I have met with. I luckily found him out just in time to clip the wings of their ornithological fudge, by putting his name in the last sheet of the fifth edition. Since the seventh edition, however, Mr. Leadbeater retired to his private residence, and resigned all the concern in Brewer Street to his son, whom he has made as clever as himself; and who has now, perhaps, the first business in Europe.

GAME LAWS

FOR 1844.

So little was the prospect of our ever getting rid of the diabolical old Game Laws, notwithstanding almost every Member in both Houses admitted their absurdity and inconsistency! that we are highly indebted to Lord Althorp* for carrying, as a ministerial measure, anything like an amendment on them; and reducing them (as I expressed a hope that they would be) "into one Act of the present reign." By a reference to my "Suggestions for New Game Laws," of which I made memorandums more than twenty years ago, but which I did not publish till 1824 (vide the earlier editions of "Instructions to Young Sportsmen)," it will be seen that the present Bill, though similar to what was therein suggested, is, in many clauses, open to great improvement. But never mind! -anything in lieu of the old and inconsistent statutes is an acceptable pledge for further alterations, till the legislature shall be less occupied with matters of more importance to the country.

The General Qualification is good; but the Sporting License should have been increased to 5l. ; or, at all events, to this amount for those who use double guns.

Now Earl Spencer.

Every thing between Landlord and Tenant had better have been settled by themselves. The legislature will do more harm than good by this interference. And with regard to the tenant being liable not only to the penalty of 21. for allowing people to shoot, but also to that of 17. for every head of game killed!— the clause, to say the least of it, is not one calculated to put the farmers in good humour-and if they are in a bad humour, the poor game, I fear, will be in a bad way!

The PENALTY for trespass is the best law that was ever enacted. But at present it is inefficient. The grand object that I had in recommending a penalty for TRESPASS ONLY, was to have the power of taking up a man whom you knew to be a poacher, but who was too well versed in his art to suffer himself to be detected in the 66 PURSUIT OF GAME;" and also to have the means of trouncing a dandified marauder, to whom the paltry sum of 21. would be no more an object than a bottle of champagne or a bundle of cigars. But, on the other hand, giving fair play to both of these worthies, by making them subject to a penalty only as WILFUL trespassers; or, in other words, for continuing or repeating the trespass after they had been warned off by the proprietor or occupier of the land. To be more fully understood, however, I shall now take the liberty of reprinting a part of what I before published, under the head of "Game Laws;" and by a reference to which it will be seen precisely how far the suggestions therein contained are analogous to the Bill that has since passed, and the Abridgment of which (with that also of the old laws still in force) shall conclude the following pages.

In Dec. 1832, I had the very best authority for saying that the ministers admitted several provisions (of which they entirely disapproved) to be introduced in the new Bill; and, in short, were obliged to compromise with their opponents, on the best terms they could, for the sake of attaining two great objects legalising the sale of game, and the general qualification. The one, to say the least of it, an act of common justice to all gentlemen who are not possessed of landed property, or sporting rights. the other the extinction of a law that subjected even the second sons of noblemen to the same penalty as the lowest tradesman, when shooting on the property of their own fathers not to say a word of its gross absurdity and inconsistency! What objections there are to these two clauses I am at a loss to know! But as to the other sections of the present Act -it becomes quite a mystery to learn from whence they emanated! Certain, however, it is that almost every one is exclaiming most violently against the new game laws; and swearing that unless they are altered, field sports will soon cease to be the amusement of gentlemen. But is there any such great difficulty in discovering the evil that now exists, and renders the new game laws (which might be made excellent) even worse than the old ones? See how the matter at present stands we have, on the one hand, legalised the sale of game, and thereby opened the market an hundred fold; without, on the other hand, having taken any one additional step against the wholesale destroyer of it-the poacher. We may proceed against the fair sportsman, like a common felon, if, by chance or absolute mistake, he crosses one little strip of land, without a formal
