INTEREST IN TRUST FUNDS.
! Mr, Matheson enquired as to the
reason for ., the withholding . during
the year 1901 of all interest on the
trust funds, $3,400,000, in the hands
of the Dominion Government, . and
asked for. a return of all the borres-
penitence 'relating to 'the. matter.
The Premier • said that no c.orres-
pondence had taken place 'between
the two Goverlimenta, but be expect-
ed to be in a position to furnish the
tecessary information .before the end
of the session.
• CIVIL SERVANTS.

Mr. Little asked .- How many
public servants in the employment of
the Go•verniaient of the Province' are
entitled to receive . a gratuity, either •
at • time of death or removal irons

The Premier replied, that under the
statutes existing prior to 1898, civil
• - - -- d • ' .
servants retiring from age an , in-
firmity, 'or in -health, were entitled to
a• gratuity not exceeding one month's
" pay for . each year 01 service.'. In

titled to this gratuity. ' TJnder 61.

THE MARRIAGE ACT.
• •
The House spent some time. in
committee' on the.Attorney-Gerieral's
several bills arising, out of the Wm,-
. .
pilation of the Smperial statutes'.
In, explaining the provisions • of the
tin to =mild the marriage act, by
Providing a schedule of prohibited. de-
grees of affinity aid consanguinity, ,
Hon Mr. Gibson took. occasion to
mi.. E.
reply to criticisms made by _
D., Armour, K.C., to the effect that
the .statute .28 Henry .17121., chapter
7, setting forth the prohibited de-
grees, had been repealed, and that
hibted .de-
,here were ' now no pro 1, •
grees in:Ontario. The Attorney-Gen-
eral remarked that' the numerous
• •
marriages of King. Henry had render-
ed necessary legislation on the sub -
:lea from time to time, but. , the
House of Lords had concluded • that
whether the statute in question. was
revived or not,. they still had to re-
' t. e tare -
fer to it for et convemen d c ,
tion of • Levitical degrees of con-
sanguinity, because by an Adt passed
in the same year, and a subsequent
• •
Act in 32 Henry VIII., all marriages
were •prohibited which were prohibit-
ed by God's • law. TO find • the de-
grees of consanguinity as set out in
"God's law" was to find theni in
the statute to Which reference had
been made, .aeici -for •that purpose It
was substantially still in force.
. REVISING STATUTE LAW. .•
The House went into committee on
the Attorney -General's bill to pro,
, of the statute
vide for the revision
law. Re called attention to the fact
. • • •
that t.he Acts new. passing through
Atee when the became law
comm , y '
woul.d. he incorporated in the re -vision
of the Imperial statute law, and.
woula be repealed... by the reyision,
,The compilation was sobject to . ex-
isting ptovincial laws, and would
t affect th.e present law on any of
n° . • - - • - -
,the subjects • dealt with: He sug-
ge. ed that evhoever formed the G-o•e•-
.st
eminent of the day when the next re-
vision took place would take care to
include in the revision. the .reference
to those old historic Acts. , •
