Abstract
BEFORE these lines are published the fate of the Plumage Prohibition Bill may have been decided. It seems little to our credit that London should be the chief market for the nefarious traffic which this Bill was framed to abolish; and this view was surely endorsed by the House when, on the second reading, the Bill was passed by a majority of nearly three hundred. Nevertheless, during the committee stage the Bill was virulently opposed by a small, well-organised minority, including some actually engaged in the sale of plumage for millinery purposes.
