The law reform measure, intro- duced by Attorney-General Foy in the Ontario Legislature on .Wed- nesday afternoon, presents four main features. In accordance with the resolution passed by the Legis- lature last year appeal to the Di- Vis10nal Court is done away with. An ‘Appellate Division of the Su- preme Court is created under the bill primarily, consisting of the present Appeal Judges. If the pre~. sent Judges find that they cannot deal With all the work, then power is vested in the Lieutenant-Gover~ nor in Council to constitute as many dIVisions of the Appellate Court as may be necessary for the despatch of business, the selection of the new Judges, however, being in the hands of the present Judges of the Supreme Court. There will be no appeal from one division to another. The right of appeal to the Privy Council is considerably limited. It can only be taken in cases where the value of the matter concerned exceeds $10,000, instead of $4,000, as at present; where some constiâ€" tutional question or the liberty of ‘ the subject is involved, or in cases where the Judges of the Appellate Division consider the interests in- volved of such magnitude that the appeal is warranted. A High Criminal Court, sitting monthly in Toronto, except during vacation, giving ten sittings in the yflar, instead of four, is constitut- e . The jurisdiction of the County and District Court is enlarged to cover cases where the amount in~ volved is ‘$800 under a contract, and $500 in the majority of the other classes of cases coming under the jurisdiction of these courts. Finally, it is rendered possible for a solicitor to enter into an agreement to carry on a client’s litigation for a fixed sum instead of. being paid by the resent inde~ finite fee system. hose agree- ments will be under the control of the courts, which can enforce or nulify them according t0 their be- ing considered fair or otherwise.

Hamkmghi to medim’ 13% to ‘Shooting Had N0 Connection wail Iii-crude Murder. A dcspatch from Hamilton says: The first threads of a web of evi- dence which the Hamilton and Provincial detectives have been trying to gather up against the man who fired upon and perhaps fatally wound-ed Constable Smith of Hamilton last Thursday night, have been obtained by the authori- ties, who are now satisfied that the [shooting of the policeman and the murder of Miss Kinrade were not don-e by one and the same person. The theory that the man who shot the policeman was the one‘ who murdered Miss Kinrade, which met with much favor at first because No. l Northern, $1.20 to $1.20%;| s'o many of the circumstances of lthe case supported it, has been ‘completely abandoned by both the city of Hamilton and Provincial detectives. The investigation of the shooting of the policeman is being left sole- ly in the hands of the Hamilton- police officers, who are looking for ’a man not believed to be in or near Hamilton, and whose principal oc- 'cupation of late has been the sys~ teinatic stealing of chickens. The connection of the man with the lshooting of the policeman has been established by a bag pick-ed up after the ‘constable was shot. The bag, lthe police assert, was a short time before in the possession of a man seen loitering around the home of 64% to 67c; No. 3, 64% to 65%“ Bishop Dowling, which isjust in the rear of the dwelling where Police Constable Smith was shot. The man was about 5 feet 8 inches in height, and spoke with a decided English acCent. _ He is also de- scribed as having rosy chceks, with Ia two-weeks’ growth of a mous- tache. His clothing consisted of a light brown or grey suit and peak cap. That the man was an ordin- ary chicken-thief is evident, the police say, from the number of feathers found inside the bag which was carried by the man, and after- wards picked up at the scene of the shooting. '4 ‘a T0 PROTECT GAME FISH. ~_.. A Rigorous Anti-export Regulation Adopted. A despatch from Ottawa says: With a view to effectively protect- ing the black bass, maskinonge and speckled trout fishery in the Prov- 'nce of Ontario an order in Coun- icil has been passed prohibiting the sale and export of these fish for a period of five years from the 30th of May next. It is provided, how- ever, that any person from a fore~ lign country having an angler’s per- inlli} may take back with him a law- iful catch of two days’ fishing. nears in , The Chief Engineer’s Reporton the Cost of Two . Routes. A des-patch from Ottawa says: The surveys of the proposed Hud- son’s Bay “railway, which have been under way since last October, are now practically completed, and a tentative report to the Govern- ment by the chief engineer, Mr. John Armstrong, estimates the to~ tal cost of the road, either to Fort Churchill or Port Nelson, with necessary terminal and harbor im- provements at each place, at be- tween sevcnteen and eighteen mil- lion dollars. He finds no obstacle to easy and comparatively cheap construction, and submits a de- tailed estimate of the comparative cost of the alternate routes sur- veyed from Split Lake to Fort Churchill and from Split Lake to Port Nelson. The Fort Churchill route, aggregating 465 miles, will cost, he estimates, $11,608,000 for the railway and an addition'al five to six millions for harbor and ter- minal works. The Port Nelson route, a distance of three hundred and ninety-seven miles, would cost approximately 384577.000. but the ‘terminal and harbor improvements lwould cost sufficient to counterbal- ance- the smaller amount required lfor railway construction. On the whole Mr. Armstrong reports~ in favor of the Nelson River route. The estimates are based on a road sufi'icient to handle the trafi'ic ,for from seven t0 ten years, a period long enough to test the use- fulness of the route. Sixty-pound rails and wooden culverts and trestles would be used. If the line lat the end of the period was shown to be commercially feasible the road could then be improved. With regard to the Nelson River route, Mr. Armstrong makes the interesting statement that from inâ€" formation obtainable it would seem that a canal could be built along the Nelson River, which would en- able ocean-going vessels to enter ‘Lake Winnipeg from Hudson’s Bay. From Lake Winnipeg a channel of thirty-three feet already exists to ‘the south end of the lake. and then-cc the canalniight be extended ivia the Red River to \V'innipeg. one l‘ i- l ‘l i i 5 g l
