tracts between attorneys and clients by which compensation of the former shall depend on the amount of money or property recovered shall be void He claimed that the bill was drawn be- cause some corporations anticipated a system of trial by jury in damage suits and the idea was to jam the bill through with some ulterior motive There was no appearance in favor of the bill.
 Several lawyers spoke for the bill to give judges the right to instruct juries as to the weight of evidence. Charles E. Perkins, representing the Hartford bar. favored the bill saying that the judge should have in such case the same power that judge at common law. M. E. O'Brien opposed the bill saying it was intended to mollify the jury Donald G. Perkins of Norwich opposed the bill saying that the pres i ent system worked to good advantage, that decisions were based on facts and the court had a right to set aside a verdict.
 Attorney J. T. Robinson of Hartford, who drew the bill, said it would facili- tate trials by giving to the judge the power before hand that he has after wards. He said that the judges are men of integrity; no undue influence would be given in instructing the juries. At torney Fitzgerald interrupted to inquire | if MT. Robinson drew the bill and had l 1a+ tro11nxy rnQ6 0f- fcials at New Haven in regard to it. MT. Robinson denied any such action, saying it did not affect trolley com panies.
 States Attorney Williams spoke in favor of the bill concerning grievance committees of bar associations empow- ering them to summon witnesses and books.
 On the bill giving the superior court the right to hear applications for ad- mission to the bar M. E. OBrien made an eloquent plea giving an account of I his own efforts to be admitted to the Fairfield county bar. He said that the animosity against him was inspired by the liquor dealers of Bridgeport as while city sheriff he had prosecuted ,287 of them in one year for liquor violations and their influence had reache dthe bar. I He had not be told why he had not the right to practice law and he believ- ed the court was the proper place to hear the evidence. Rev. pr. Upham, Rev MT. Blatz and Rev. D. N. Glf1in spoke in MT. o'Brien's favor, while c. I F. Perkins opposed the bill. Represent tative Banks of the committee during the hearing intimated that the bar committee had reasons for not admit ting the applicant.

 Hartford Feb 2S-The first bill heard before the committee on banks yesterday was one which exempts the bonds of the Consolidated Railway com pany and the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company from the list of legal investments for savings banks.
 Julius Twiss of New Haven object ed to the bill which, he said, was un- just and uncalled for, The bonds of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company were secured by other securi- ties than the trolley properties and at least 80 per cent. were guaranteed by the United Gas and Improvement com pany.
 Ex7Sentor William J. Clark of stony Creek appeared for the bill which he said repealed an act of the legislature of 1905.
