MALLARD DUCK SHOOTING
“The matter is still under consideration and it will come before the first meeting of the new council in the form of recommendations from the game committee, which has been considering the matter,” said the chairman (Mr S. M. Macalister) at the annual meeting of the Southland Acclimatization Society last night, when Mr J. R. O’Brien asked what was the position of men who had shot mallard duck with a 10/licence. “There are rights and wrongs on both sides and I think that we are all anxious to see justice done to everyone,” Mr Macalister continued. “A difficult situation has arisen and I do not think it would be right for me to give you an explanation until the council has considered the matter. No doubt the matter will receive publicity then.”
