Ancaster to the effect 2221W that it was earnestly to be desired that the legislature would be able to pass a short Act of Parliament which would clear up the doubts caused by the different language used in a great many Statutes as to the disability of wives to give evidence against their husbands in criminal cases; and whether His Majesty's Government will introduce such legislation?
§ Sir RUFUS ISAACSMy attention has been directed to the remarks of the learned judge in Rex v. Ancaster, and the desirability of introducing the suggested legislation is now under consideration.
