We have referred to cock-fighting as illegal, effect it is so, but the law of 1849 leaves it very open question whether an action would against a group of men who should arrange cock-fight in the open. It is unlawful, wo on derstand, to "frequent a home for the purpose of cock-fightlog, and it was because the famous main of April, 1865, 1ook place in a house in the Haymarket that the participators, to the number of thirty-five, rendered themselves 236]

many things besides political grievances, and among them the 'love for cock fighting, which has existed in the Anglo-Saxon from time im- memorial and is by no means extinguished yet. 'Au'authority on the subject indeed has placed it on unblurbing record that "cock-6ghting is; obsolete only in the sense that it is, illegal" (wherein he is not strictly accurate) and in many parts of England it is not too much to say the minions of the law ask no more of cock fighters than that they shall refrain from open advertise- ment of their proceedings. The simple fact of the matter is, cock-fighting is one of those institutions the law is wholly unable to supOUR BUSINESS has been REMOVED EUROPEAN, INDIAN and...

press. A maia can be fought in a stable yard, in a loose box, or for that matter in the drawing room, in which last case may be illegal. Did not James Wilson, Professor of Moral Philosophy in Edinburgh', niherwise and mare popularly known as Cristopher North enjoy an occasional cock-fight, la his drawing: room? And who shall distush the sinner who seeks thus to circumvent the Law under his own roof. Cock-fighting will die hard beciuss it is a purely natural business, steel spura omit- ted. The sport was forbidden in Burma a ge- I peration ago, but he were a bold man who should venture to affirms that legal prohibition made an end of it.

needs a stronger sense of duty than calive local official or any olher for that matter- possess to interfera with a päštime which bas been an institution since the world began, or at least since man first domesticated the jungle fowl, from which, we are told, all our poultry are derived. Let two cocks meet and the twain shall fight, lacking 'man's counte ngocs and enourngemcal ;-that is a catural law that neither statule law or any other shall override. For this reason cock-fighting_stands, on a footing very distinct from the many other P sports which an enlightenéd úge bas banned, as brutal and demoralising, and for this reason it will survive in defiance of legal enactment. We are somewhat inclined to think that cock- fighting came under the ban by reason of its association, on paper, with buli baiting and badger drawing with which it has as little in common as a bear bait has with the quail fight beloved of the native of this country.
We can hardly.hope that an age which re- gards with gloomy disapproval the chase of the carted deer as a wanton cruelty, could be brought to see cock fighting in its true per spective: the obvious plea that it is the nature of cocks to fight carries no weight. The im morality of birds, by a curious process of reasoning, is beld to infect him “who shall pre- sume to look pa at the deplorable proceeding; and if it be sioful for cocks to fight, it is magi- festly the duty of good men to stop them and isolate the cocks, that these may mediate upon the error of their ways.
