CHAP. 230.—An ACT to protect pheasants in the county of Middlesex.
Approved March 138, 1912.

Whereas, Willie Sharpe Kilmer proposes to turn loose a large
number of pheasants in the county of Middlesex, upon condition
that certain necessary laws be enacted to prevent the killing or
capture of the same for a certain period; and

Whereas, there are practically none of this species of game in
the said county; and

Whereas, it is the desire of the people of the county that such
game may be introduced and increased in the said county; now,
therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
it shall be unlawful for any person to hunt, kill, or capture, at
any time, in the day or night, within the county of Middlesex,
any species of pheasants for a period of two years from the first
day of November, nineteen hundred and twelve.

Any person violating any of the provisions of this act shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined not less than five nor more than fifty dollars.
