"The Animals Protection Act Amendment Act, 1895."
» ■: -v. As our Hibernian friend would say, tbe above is the " short "'title of an Act passed last session. -The Act very wisely prohibits any ' crank ' from introdncing or importing into the colony, or turning at large, any animal or bird without the consent in writing oi. $he. Minister, nor any insect or reptile.' TKe master, owner, charterer* and agent of any vessel have oast upon them the duty to'-prdvent any snake, scorpion, or other noxious reptile from being landed in the colony. The master of steamers conveying, bananas will have a particularly > lively time, as every person whoi sk)/, offends is liable to a penalty of not
less than £5 and not more than £50. Some exciting scenes are likely to be witnessed on the Wellington wharf before long. To protect the native pigeons it is enacted that none shall be killed next year and every sixth year thereafter, except in Urewera and other Native districts.
