whole century back thoughtful people
in this country were seriously concern-
ed about the destruction of game, and
, that the first laws for its protection
were passed exactly 100 years ago. Yes,
at a time when primeval forest still
clothed the land, when feathered creat -
1 urea thronged the marshes and woods,
land deer ventured to the very outskirts
of what i
n now Toronto -
Searching diligently through the
Provincial Statutes, the writer traced
the game laws of Ontario back by years
and decades to their early inception.
On 14th April, 1821, the Executive
Council of tlse then Proving: of Upper
Can.:dr passed "An Act for' the I'ro-
tection of Deer Will: in this Province."
In part this pioneer' statute states:
' Whereas it is .:tnedient to prohibit
the ki;ling of deer within this province
at +:,.proper seaso-ss'of the year, be it
enuc.:ed—That no person or persons
shall within this pr wince, after the 10
th day of January it: every year,here-
after kill in any manner whatever any
deer, ferae naturae, until the 1st day of
July."
Forty Shillings Fine—Doubled Next
Time.
Offenders were to be tried before
any J.P, The fine wits 40 shillings for
the 'first offence and double for every
subsequent offence, and of this fine, so
said the statute, "one Moiety thereof
shall be forfeited to his Majesty and be
paid into the ']sands 'of the Receiver -
General of the Province to and for the,,
public use, and shall be accounted for
through the Lords Commissioners of
his 'Majesty's. treasury its such manner
as form as his Majesty will be pleased to,,
direct, and the other moiety thereof
shall be paid to the infer:not or whoso-
ever shall sue for same • "'
Indians Were expressly exempted from
the act. - ;
Sunday Shooting Stopped in 1839.
Not until :18 years later .However,
did the.' legislators see the necessity of
protecting `game birds—acid then only,
wild turkeys, partridge, etc., were pre-
served. Strangely enough the Wild pig-
eons, posSlbly on account of their en-
ormous numbers, do not appear to have
received any consideration until they
had practically vanished, 'InJhe amend-
