Galloway, representative from Tran sylvania county, relating to the con flict between the local game law, as applied to that county, and the state wide law, I will say that in my opin-1 idh the local law prevails. “A public-local game law, ratified subsequent to a general law covering the subject, and with proper repeal ing clause, must be considered super ior to the general law. Even when the ratification of the general law post-dates that of the public-local law will prevail as an intended exception to the general law, unless there is a plain intent in the general law to repeal it. “In this case, as I have stated, the public-locql law prevails. “Yours very truly, Dennis G.
