But what will be the trouble compared to the security given gene rally to the cattle propeity—at pre sent so unprotected and so opeu to plunder! All drovers crossing the Murray into Victoria have to get a delivery uote for registration purposes, and the necessity has never beeu com plained of. At any rate, no squatters have petitioned the House against the bill, and it has been before the country now for about two years. Then it is said, drovers might lose their notes or get robbed ot them. But robbers do not generally take paper that is worth less to them, and these delivery notes would have no pecuniary value; and as to accidental loss, drovers are no more likely to lose their delivery notes than their bauk notes. Besides, it would be very easy to have dupli cates stowed away in different parts of their dress, or forwarded to post towns along their route. And in any case, where a man could give a good account of himself, and was known on the road, or in the neighbourhood, as a good character, and could satisfy the magistrates that he had lost his note accidentally, the fine would be nominal. No drovers have petitioned the Assembly agaiust the bill, or even represented through the journals that the clause would be oppressive to them, or that it would be impossible for them while travelling to take as much care of a piece of paper as they can do of a short pipe. And if as a class they were threatened with injury, they are not quite so helpless but that some of them would have found a tongue. Thou it is urged that the people on the Hue of route will be starved, as they have been accustomed to buy their meat from drovers. Some of them, doubtless, will have, to be a little more cautious iu their pur chases, and may perhaps have to give a somewhat higher price than they have been accustomed to give to those who, having got a beast cheap, could afford to sell him cheap. But there will be no restriction on legitimate purchasers. Drovers will be able to sell as heretofore. The objections obviously are very slight, and when compared with the arguments in favour of the bill are altogether overweighted.
