An Act to change the Date of the Season for Partridge Shooting in Ireland.

[27th March 1899]

W hereas under an Act of the Parliament of Ireland of the thirty-seventh year of the reign of King George the Third (chapter twenty-one), intituled ‘An Act to amend the Game Laws,’ the shooting season in Ireland for partridges begins on the twentieth of September, and ends on the tenth of January, and it is expedient that the law in Ireland be in that respect altered:

Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

1 Alteration of season for partridge shooting.

The said Act of the Parliament of Ireland shall be read and have effect as if, with respect to partridges, the first day of September had been mentioned throughout that Act instead of the twentieth day of September, and the first day of February instead of the tenth day of January.

2 Short title.

This Act may be cited as the Partridge Shooting (Ireland) Act, 1899.
