Mr. Gerard Start, Member for Dorsetahire, delivered a speech on

Tuesday to his constituents shoat game and the labourers. On game he was frank and liberal, offering, as we understand him, to give up ground game altogether ; but as to the labourers, he was frank without any liberality. He did not like this agita- tion, he said, because if it continued tenants would leave their farms and he must lower his rents, which he did not like at all. In other words, labourers are to pinch that Mr. Sturt may be fat. He did not mean that, we dare say, for he is kindly enough, and told the farmers plainly that he should keep his cottages, but that is what he said.
