Shooting Hares.

At the general meeting of the Ashburton Acclimatisation Society on May 9, reference was made to the recent cases of shooting without licenses at Lytteltbn and the fines inflioted m those oaßes. It was asserted on the authority of Mr Brace, Secretary of the Canterbury Acclimatisation Society, that a license was necessary for the shooting of native game, hares, etc. The Secretary was instructed to communicate with the Colonial Secretary and ask — " If any alteration has been made m the law as regards shooting native game, and if it is now necessary to obtain a license before doing so On October 15, 1886, the Ashburton Society, m reply to a letter from the Colonial Secretary, agreed to recommend the Government to accede to the wishes of the Ashburton County Council that hares be declared vermin, and cease to be deemed game within the boundaries. of the Ashburton County. This was published m the Go vernment Gazette, and since then hares have been shot, snared, and destroyed by every means without) license m the county. Has this order m council been repealed? Has a gun license been imposed, as the Ashburton Society has not heard of it ?" In raply to the foregoing question a letter has been received from the Colonial Secretary, dated May 16,' 1896, m which the questions are answered categorically thus — 1. No license is required for shooting native game. 2. The warrant removing the protection on hares m the County of Asnburton has not been removed, and consequently hares are still not game there. 3. No gun license has been imposed.
