This definition of the law came
about through a case in Windham
county 11 short time ago.,when a man,
finding a dead deer, took possession of
it and carried it. to his home. Learn
ing of the circumstance the game
warden for the territory informed the
man that he had no right to the can

sion of he deer did not coincide with

an opinion was sought from the attor-
