[rnow. OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
LONDON, Hay 19th. There are many curious anomalies in the law, and Lord Astor has been calling attention to one of them in the House of Lords this
werk. It arises out of the complete freedom a man has to dispose of all his property by will. Recently the death took place of a man who had been allowing his wife and three children £60 a month, and he Sequeathed all his property to a lady friend. The wife and family found themselves penniless. In Scotland he could not have done this. Under Scots law a widow is entitled to one-third of the estate of her late husband,
If a man dies intestate in Eng land his widow has a right to share in the estate, and she gets the whole of it if it is under £2,000. But generally the governing principle of the English law is that every man can do what he likes with his
OWL
A woman who divorces her hus- band is entitled to support for her-i self and her children. On applica- tion to the courts she can get an order for the payment of alimony, by making it a charge on whatever property the man may leave. But in some cases, if not all, there is nothing that can be done to secure provision for herself or even the children after the man's death.
It
is this hardship that Lord Astor is anxious to remove. He desires the appointment of a Committee to draw up a modification of the English law so as to bring it into line with the practice adopted in Scotland as well as in some foreign countries.
