    in all of which penalties consequent on not taking out a game certificate, or taxes incurred by the use of dog, gun, and net, are repealed, as far as the killing of hares only is concerned, according to the conditions already stated, or more amplified in fol- lowing sections. The second section of the Act limits the authority from owner or occupier to one person only, at the same time in one parish, and further enacts that a copy of this authority shall be sent to the Clerk of the Petty Sessions, who shall enter it in a register provided for that purpose; this notice holding good from the time of its date to the 1st of February fol- lowing, when fresh service will be required. Should, however, the authority be revoked, it is necessary for the owner or occupier so recalling it to send at once notice of such permission being withdrawn to the Clerk of the Petty Sessions. The following is the form of authority required:— I., A. B., do authorize C. D. to kill hares on [“my lands,” or the “ lands occupied by me,” as the case may be] within the of [here insert name of the parish or other place, as the case may be]. Dated this day of [here insert the day, month, and year]. (Witness) A. B. Section the third enacts that persons so autho- rized to kill hares shall not be liable to any duties of assessed taxes as game keepers, unless otherwise chargeable. By section four the privilege of killing hares with- out a certificate is extended to coursing them with greyhounds, or hunting them with beagles or other hounds. This exemption reaching to all persons joining in the pursuit of them by these means.
