With the exception of tho ' Rotorua district, which would he dealt with by the several departments concerned, it was not considered necessary at present, to remove protection for deer in tho North Island, but warrants to cull or destroy deer would be issued to several rcolimntiaation societies. Under that authority acclimatisation societies would be able, not only to carry out the necessary thinning out, but to authorise persons to kill deer and to assist them in any matter where animals were a menace to property.
