Both the old law of 1870 and that of last year are now repealed by the new Ordinance, and the permission to be granted by the Governor in Council is thus worded, 'way from time to time at discretion grant to any person for such considera- tions and upoir such conditions and for such periods not exceeding five years at any one time,' &c.

So far, therefore, there is nothing about which to raise any shrul abriek as

to the infringement of public rights, Any claim to infringe the rights of others must begrounded upon the permission to be genoted by the Governor in Council 10 the Sporting Club. Apart from the cursstitution of the Executive Council- which does not, we fancy, include any keen sportsman, save perhaps the Gen- eral-the public have ample security that their rights will be fully protected in any permission thus given.
