In these schemes all instalments after the first are to be paid weekly. Other schemes may be formed from these by advancing or postponing the day of payment of the first instalment, provided that the first payment is not made sooner than the eleventh day, and that not more than one penny per pound is added to the interest for every thirteen days of such postponement, or that not less than one penny per pound is taken off the interest for every thirteen days of such advance.

Thus: Scheme 6. may be altered by making the first instalment payable on the twenty-second day after the loan, and taking seven-pence per pound for interest, and so of the rest.

N. B.-A few short titles, viz. "Fruit," "Funds," "Funerals," "Furious Driting," &c., which should have been here inserted, will be found at the end of the following title, “Game.”

Game.

By the 1 & 2 Will. IV. c. 32, a most material alteration of the game
laws was effected; for, by this statute, it is no longer requisite that a
party should be qualified to kill game; and any person may kill it on
taking out a certificate for that purpose, subject to the law of trespass.
There are, however, certain restraints on tenants killing game on their
lands. Any one may now buy or sell game under certain restrictions.
Greater facility is given to the punishment of trespassers. Actions for
penalties are put an end to. The offence of night poaching remains as
before the passing of this statute.
