There vni: more indiijeut penoai at the present time in the Province than in any prtviom year, ncd the care of tbeie people was a matter well worthy of tbecon- aideration of law Kivers. In re|{ard to the amelioration 0! the condition of Ihe blind, insane, etc-, Oaiario bad done its duty, and was proud of her institations. Bat little bad been done on the co operative plan for the maintenance cf our indigent. The warm- hearted people of Waterloo were Ihe drsi •0 move in the matter. The County of >"crfolk followed the example, ihen Elgin, Wellington, Middleaex and York. He foaai that the law rdquired thai annual re- turns should be aenl in from the Hoad«t of K^fage, but no soch resuras bad yet keen rade. tie had, however, obtained ti<ar«« privately from some of them.

Reformatory. »iy^; Mercer, J2U ; jail. HiMO. He thought Ihe Goverumeni might deviae some pUn to uliii/ia the House* of Indus- try ihroagbout the counlry for the accom- modation of the inaane. instead uf sending them to Ihe jails. A Gofernaani inspec- tion of these institutions would then, of oourse.be necessary. Some of the Uoosea o( Hefu^e had inmaiea whose mainlen- anoe properly belonged to Ihe Province, and he thought thaGovemmani mii$ht con- sider the advisability of extending soma aid t:) them. Mr. Meredith said that ibe House was indebted to bis bon. friend for brin^in^ up tha matter. Ue was sorry, however, hu bon. friend had inault^ed in one of the usual pessimistic utterancea peculiar to ^'enila- man opposite. It was somewhat singular, however, that tbe poorbouaea were eatab- lishad in wbal they called the banner counties. One thing they had to consider was that there was gradually springing; up a clasa of professional poor, especially in the large cities. Where Iha teal of actual work had b^n applied in Toronto this clasa had decreased. Care should be taken that they did not provide conditions under which the professional poor would be sup- foried at the public expense. With re»;ard to many of tha insane in the poor-houses, they were not insane within tbe meaning of the Asylum Act. The Blind Institu- tion, again, was only for those for whom there waa hope of beim; benefitted by Ihe treatment pursued there. He went on to refer to the evil of outside maoicipalitiea sending their poor and feeble to the large cities for aupporl, and said soma legislation should be devised 10 check this. Mr. Hardy said that some years a^o a law was passed making it compulsory upon counliea to establish poor houses, but so much opposition to it was aroused that it was repealed. Public opinion was divided as to Ihe advisability of erecting these poor houses. Whenever one had been ealablished, and there had been a fair opportunity cf its being worked, the general opinion was that it had done good in the public iatereat. It any plan could be devise%i, jiijt falling short of making tha eatablishmenl of theae institations compulsory, a go«d end would be served. A gooa many peracns thought that by establishing theae inatilnlions a chronio class of paupers would be enooura(^, or a number of men and women woald be brought up to look at tbe poor hoasea as the ultimate aim of their life. Hi doubted that such a result would follow a system like our own. Mr. Gibson ^Samilton) brooght down the following returns ordered by the Hou-e : Respecliog tha fees payable to Judge Laoourse, juige of the I'ounty Court of the county 0'. Waterloo ; also regarding the fees payable to Mr. W. A. McLean, local Master of the Supreme Coari of Jadioaluro for Ontario at Walkerton. The report of the Minister of Kiuoation on tha subject of teohiucal education was also presented to the Uouss. Several petitions were presented prayiog for amendments to the municipal law in tbe direction of abolishing tax exempsious Mr. Dnry â€" To conirm a cccveyance made by the town of Barrie to the Quien.

Tbe Honse wens iato Commiiiae of the Whole oa Mr. Fraaer's BJl respecting voters' i;3tj. The B.U coas«lidales the law, and appU^a 1:3 proTisions to voters within the meaciag of ih J MaLCOo-l Sal- rajje Act. Mr. Clancy called attention to the fact that the names of ali-^cs had appeared on the lijts, and they could net be scrutuiiz<:d, tbe lists bemgcnal. Mr. Fras:r sail the reason the lists were .made final was because a s<:nituiy would involve eaormcis expense. If an alientook theoash and voted, the rerae<iy would be to proaecate him for perjury. When the clause relating to appeals to the ' ouaty -Judge to have namea struck c? the lis! cams up Mr. M-^r-iiith drew atien- lioa to tbo apparent injuitice in sabf-Jiua- lag men to attend the court on the ground that ihev were not entitled to voie, and because they failed to attend through car^- lessneaa, alihoagh entitled to voce, their names were struca onf. ilr. Frawr said he could see co reason why a j'udge should stnkaa man a name o^ the list simply for non attendance. It was a ^^Uistion that required some consideration, because appeals migbl be aiade on frivolous groancs, ani sometimes might be done tc empower tha judge to order tbe appellant. if it was showa that hi apfjaled oa frivo- lons grouads with (he txpec'.a::on thai the voter waild not attend and coase<]uently be struck c?. to pay the costs. He would give Ihe question bis ccaaideration. and perhaps something might be dca-' to do away w-.th what might re&Uy bexme an undoobied evU. The committee rose and reported the Bill, wiih certain verb»l ameaimects. In reply to Mr. Clancy. Mr. Frassr said the reports 0! the Factories Icspjcwrs were m Ihe hands of the priaters The fcUovfirg Bills were fntrodaced and read the first time : Mr. Balfour â€" To ameci the Ontario Election A::. Mr. Bisho-jâ€" To ameni the Act rtspect- ing iasuran.yj comp»a.-s. Mr. Fraser. in mov.ug the seccad read- ing of the BUI to ameni the Uatano Fac- tories A::, explained the prircipal al'.era- tioca wh::h it u proposed 10 make ia the existing law. At present any place or premises «hi:h would be otherwise a fac- tory, where there were employed a number of persons (x.xediog t-«ecty. came under the operations cf the law. HLs BiU pro- vided that where the number of em- ployeea exceeded five, ia such caaea the Act woold be operative. A schedule was supplied la the Bill giving a list 0! tbe fs clones aSecied. s<j as to prevent m:s onderaianding. Another claus: of the BUI provided that factories should not escape the operations of t e law incases where the work was sub let. The word " ccild '' in section five was changed to " boy," so as to prevent its being wn- slrue-1 to inclade girls. The change wooli prevent girls under 11 being employed. The BiU provided that caaniag factories and fruit and vegetable- drymg factories should be given the additional month of (.>.•! jber wherein employees might work over ten hours a day, but in all (acloriei where women and girls are employe-d 15 minutes additional wUl have to oe allowed for aa evening meal. No children would be. however, allowed to work after 'J p. m. in su:h canning factories. Persons charged with violatioo of the A:l wocli be allowed to testify in their own behalf. The Bill was resbd tha second time. Several petitions were presented praying for the abolition of exemptions. On molioa of Mr. A. M. Rosa an order- incouncil was raiifiei placiag the 5i. Vincent de Paul Hoapiiaj, BrockviUe, on Schedule A of tha Charily Aid Act and granting aid to it from Nov. i.'>ih. lS77,and also placing the sum of $277.80 in the eatiznaies on account of work done by the hospital. In reply 10 Mr. Meredith. Mr. Hardv said the Government could not refuse aid to a hoapilal merely because there were two hoapttals in a town or city. Tha line had noi yet been drawn in this respect. Mr. Meredilh said ihal soma settled policy should be aicpled, as the expendi- ture on charities was increasing to an alarming rale, and was now about $S0.0OO a year. At the request of Mr. H. E. Clark (rorontol, Mr. Fraser allowed the order for the riouw going iato committee on tbe BiU to amend iha Facloriea Act tc stand for a day or two, ia the expectation that the report cf the laspeclors would be printed then. Mr. Fraser sail that the printing de- partment appeared to be in a congested Slate. Mr. Meredith said the Govenjaient should take steps 10 prevent the cciigea- lion taking place. The H.>ase oughi aot to be inconvenienced i . th.s way every session. Mr. Frtuer in ived the second readicj; of the BiU to amend the Workmen's Com- pensation for lojuriea Act. Ue explaioed that tha Bill extended the Act to cases of injury caused by defects in either '.he maohiaery, premises, etc., or their arrangement. The Bill removed iha restriction which der.aed superintenJeats to be men not engaged in manual labor. Another so.'lioa corrected the mistake in the Act which made tbe words " signal " '• points, " a compound word" signal-points. " Section oaf the Bill prevented an employer escaping Uabilily under Ihe Act by sob-leitiDg the work to a sub contractor. The snb-coutracior was, however, not relieved from liabiiiiy, but a workman waa barred from gtMting donbie com pensalioa. Section 9 permuted a work- man to give evidence that there was reason- able cause for his neglecting to give uotict of any defect he may have observed in Ihe plant or machinery. The Bill provided that compe-isation awarded men be r.ci ar.i which the hon. gentleman had then resisted. Tbe Bill waa read the seaood time. Mr. Fr^U'uh moved the secoad reading of the Bill to ainend the law of slander. He ezpUmed the dif erecce between linel and slander, the former referring 10 wr.iten or printed utterances and the latter to spoken, and pointed oat thai oader the present lav a person might by worda impute uachastiiy to a woman, and cause ner much misery and tuferin^. and yet no action eoald be taken againai that person unless some special damage could be proved. The pass- age of ibe BiU would help to preserve the peace, aa male reUtives of women slan- dered had now to take tha law icto their own hands. The BJI provided ia brief that ia actions fcr imputicg unchaaie con- duct to a woman special damaga need not be proved, and tha: s person usiiLg de- f ampler-' language regarca.^ a woman could be punishable by fine or imprison meet to the extent of Ssi) and coats or six montkj ia ;*il. Mr. Merediih thought the Bill objection- able becauji :i gave slandered women a rem»dy and cot men. It ougit to be an c^ence 10 impute ucchastity to a man ;urs as Eu:h as to a woman. Anoiher iii.- culi) was that the utterers of slanden against women were priaripally women- goasipa. In niae casea cut if tec where actions were brought under this BiU. sympathetic juriea wcoli find for tha woman plaintiff, although the maa might be iaaocent. Mr. Mjwat said be liisd the sentiment which prompted the icircduciica cf the Bill, and he was gla.i it had been brought before the coasideration cf the H;ase. Mr. Harcoorl supportea the pna-riple of the Bill. Mr Connor said ha sympathi^e-i with the measure. Mr. Waters supported the Bill. Mr. Hardy ihoni;ui the Bui would {.rove fruitful of litigatioa. It woald open tha gales wide to frivolous litigation and m-ighl cause more harm than good to women. Tbe debate was then a: :!umed- M:. MiLe- s Bill to amend the Municipal A:t was read the second time.
