Hon. Charles +. Libby, Hon. Frank
NJ. Higgins and Hannibal L. Hamlin,
Esq. who were appointed two years ago
by Governor Cleaves, commissioners for
the promotion Of the uniformity of leg
islation in the United States, have
submitted their report. To the present
legislature the commissioners recon-
mend a law uniform with the laws of
other states for the acknowledgment
and execution Of written instruments; a
law providing that the word "Seal, or
the letters IL. s." in the place where
the seal should be sffixed shall make the
instrument in all respects q sealed in
strumeut; law prescribing that last
viii and testament executed without
this state in the manner prescribed there
by law, shall be deemed legally executed
BY the laws Of this state; law admitting
TO probate In this state any will duly adj
mitted TO probate without the state; q
law abolishing days Of grace; and max
ing all notes, checks, drafts, etc., that
fall due on Sunday or q holiday payable

business day; law establishing q uni
form standard Of weights and measures.
The commission also urges that marriage
and divorce laws Of the several states be
made uniform ss far ~ possible, and rec
commends changes in the Law relating to
negotiable instruments. The legislature
should not hesitate to carry out the re-
forms recommended by these well-ad-
vised gentlemen, and should invite the
cooperation Of other states with regard
10 marriage and divorce laws.
