A matter that needed attention, said the president of the Wellington Acclimatisation Societies’ Association (Mr L. O. H. Tripp), was the manner in which nnglers were treated by the rangers. Even though an angler had taken out a license, he was liable to a fine if he left it In camp. Instances had occurred of men who had left their licenses at home or In camp, who had been fined exactly as though they had never taken out a license. Rangers should use a little common-sense. Even where the ranger had known that the man had a license in camp, action had been taken. When the matter came before the Supreme Court, his Honor had said that it was regrettable than the ranger did not find out whether the man had a license or not before taking proceedings.
