Poacher.—The Act lately passed relative to the shooting of game in the colony except in certain months is too long to reprint.

We suppose that in this district thecaatigatibn woud be administered by the District Constables. Colonial Defence.—No portion -of the armed Constabulary are to be stationed in this district.
