Hares Preservation Act 1892

1892 CHAPTER 8 55 and 56 Vict

An Act to enact a Close Time for Hares during the Breeding Season.

Whereas hares form an important article of food, and have of late years greatly decreased in numbers in England, Scotland, and Wales, by reason of their being inconsiderately slaughtered, and owing to their marketable value it is important to provide for their protection during the breeding season.
