The English Game Lagys.-It is in eyl-
dence, that, in one year, the numbers i'm
prisoned under the operation Of these horrid
statutes, amounted to no less than one thou
sand two hundred individuals! Think on the
amount of suffering from the direct and in
direct consequences of this appalling fact;
think on the desolatc wives, the starving
children, the ruined, hcart-broken families;
the sons initiated by the contamination of "a
gaol, into all those degrees of yet unthought
of crime, which is ultimately to bring them
to shameful and premature end; the fathers
banished from their homes and their country;
their miserable offspring thrown burthen
on the unwilling parish; and all, perhaps,
for the destruction of a paltry partridge, or
other wild animal, to which no person can
absolutely establish right of ownership.
