Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee Appointed to Consider and Report on the Game Laws Bill: Ordered by the House of Assembly to Be Printed, 1867
The ostrich feather is a very valuable article of com merce; the money value of ostrich feathers exported from this Colony during the last six years amounted, as per memo. Furnished by Mr. Layard, to and yet the eggs of the ostrich are openly exposed for sale on our public market with impunity, and the birds are shot in the breeding season.
Bucks of all kinds are hunted and shot in the breeding season, and partridges and pheasants are shot and snared throughout the year, and Without regard to the pairing and breeding season.
The game throughout many of the districts of this Colony has greatly diminished of late years compared with former times; and in some districts very few phea sants and partridges are left.
The Bill under consideration, with the amendments suggested, is, it is believed, calculated to meet the evils hereinbefore mentioned to a considerable extent.
The Committee do not recommend any addition to the 7s. 6d or 38. 9d. Now charged for a game licence. The present charge, were it enforced with ordinary diligence under the regulations proposed by this Bill, would yield a very considerable amount of revenue in excess of that now derived from the sale of 'game licences; besides affording, directly and indirectly, an additional protection against the present indiscriminate slaughter of our game, and a further emulation in the skilful use of the rifle and fowling-piece.
