Excerpt from The Game Laws Apology is scarcely needed for presenting to the public, at the present time, any observations on the Game Laws, inasmuch as the numerous Bills brought before Parliament in successive Sessions, and the Report of the recent Committee of the House of Commons, shew that While there is great and pressing desire for legislation, there is still greater diversity of views as to the best mode of giving relief from the evils complained of, and which to a great extent are admitted on all hands. Whatever may be thought of the conclusions at Which I arrive, I hope that the historical and legal illustrations may not be Without their value in determining the views of those Who are interested in this subject. I have dealt mainly With the law of England and Wales, and have only mentioned incidentallysome of the points in respect of Which the law of Scotland differs. There are other points of difference in the Scotch law, but I believe that substantially the general scope of my observations and conclusions Will apply equally to Scotland as to England.
