SHOOTING OF QUAIL
SPORTSMAN'S CONSCIENCE MONEY SENT FROM LONDON It is not only the Government that receives conscience monqy from people who have defrauded it. The North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society has just received from Loudon an English note for £l, which was sent to the secretary, Mr. G. L. Pomfret-Dodd, with the following note: — "The sender of this note spent four weeks in New Zealand during May and June this year. One day he was out rabbit-shoot-ing on the Canterbury Plains, when some quail got up, and he shot two of them. As he is a Christian and has a conscience, lie feels that ho ought to make reparation for his breaking of the law, and lie herewith encloses a one pound Treasury note to make amends, and would beg to sign himself, 'For Conscience Sake.' " Mr. Pomfret-Dodd said that he could not recall a similar remittance to the society.
