FOR READY REFERENCE. THE FENCING ACT. ERECTION OF FENCES. A fence of any of the kinds mentioned in the Second Schedule is a sufficient fence within the meaning of the Fencing Act (5.7). The occupiers of adjoining lands not divided by a sufficient fence are liable to join iu or contribute in equal proportions to the erection of a fence Dβtweeu such lands, although such fence may not extend along the whole boundary line. But no occupier is liabio to contribute to any fence which is not, u far as practicable, continuous throughout its length. THE RULES OF THE ivOAD. The Rule of the Road is a paradox quite; For in driviug your carriage along, If you bear to the left you are jure to go right, If you turn to the ripht you go wrong. But iu walking the 6treeta 'tis a different case; To the right it i 3 right wou ehoald steer, On the left should bo left enough of clear space Foi the people vho wish to walk there. \ LEGAL TENDER.
