sulatituted a moderate duty un busses fur the has hitherto
vied upon windows, and we have thus carried into still
further effect the work of sanitary reform which has dis-
tinguished Cie legislation of fernier sessions. Our at-
testier& has also been directed to various measures for
the improved adruinistration of justice. We hays wadi-
Mil the law of evidence, so as to secure the more complete
and eatrfactory investigation of truth. We have simpli-
fied many of the details, both of criminal and cavil pruce-
