Con\}inced that more British pic-- tures should be exhibited in the the-- stres of this Province than are being smown at the present time, the Gov-- ernment is bringing down a bill to tke House that would authorize the establishment by Order--in--Council of o any quota deemed advisable. _ Notice of this drastic legislation was filed with the Clerk of the As-- gambly yesterday by Hon.

Behind this action on the part of | the Henry Government is said to lie | tre fecling that the film exchanges | perating in Ontario do not always | te the case when they advance the | Tment that there are only A few' Pritish pictures to be had, and those | they get are no good, anyway.

This clause of the act to make uni-- form the law respecting wills provided that any will made wholly in the hardwriting of the testator would be valid without further formality or re-- quirements absout witnesses. Lawyers' Club Objected . |\ _ Hon. J. M. Robb's hospital bill went | through the committee with only a minor change, increasing from fifteer to twenty days the time allowance in 'which municipal clerks could protest | notification from hospitals of the ad-- mittance of indigent patients from their municipalities. Colonel Price further explained that the Lawyers' Ciub of Toronto had ob-- jected to the provision for holograph wills on the ground that there were sound reasons requiring the presence of two witnesses to a will. The valid-- ity of the holograph will could only be justified in special circumstances, as in the case of a soldier's or sailot's will, when conformance with for-- mality was difficult. Liberal House Leader William E. N. Sinclair said that if lawyers wore selfish they would welcome the holc-- graph provisicn "because it would causs no end of litigation." Senator's Suggestion. During the discussion on the ques-- tion, Colonel Price stated he had re-- ceived a letter from Senator G. Lynch-- Staunton. Senator Staunton, in his letter, had pointed out that under present practice a will might be type-- written on several sheets of paper, the signature appearing cnly on the last. This left the possibility of an un-- scrupulous person abstracting shee?s, and changing the purport of the will, still leaving the last sheet with the signature. The Senator suggested tkat the law provide that a testator's signature appcar on evory sheet of a will, a practics followed by sound solicitors today. Clause Deleted. Another clause in the act affecting the rights of illegitimate children under the will of their mother was also debated. This clause provided that "every illegitimate child of a woman shall be entitled to take under a testamentary gift by or to her or to her children or issue the same benefit as he would have been entitled to if legitimate unless a contrary in-- tention appears by the will." Wilfred Heighington. Toronto--St. Davids, in objecting to this clause, said it might have far--reaching conse-- quences not contemplated at present. The provision, he urged. was also against public policy and was not supported by public demand. To Be Considered. The act, which was designed to make uniform the laws relating to wills, was left over in committee for further consideration. Objections were raised by William E. N. Sinclair and Mr. Heighington to other provisions which, by enjoining a certain in-- terpretation of the act in the interest of uniformity, they felt, might cripple the body of laws which had been built up in this Province.
