NEW BRITISH LAWS.
STATUS OF MARRIED WOMEN. (United Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, January 1. A number of new laws will come into force to-morrow. The Counterfeit Currency Act gives effect to the 1929 international convention for the suppression of counterfeiting currency, and extends to foreign coin and currency, including banknotes, the protection afforded by the law to British coin and currency. New vehicles registered after tomorrow will have to have direction indicators or braking signals complying with the requirements of the Ministry of Transport. Fundamental, changes in the legal status of married women will result from the act depriving the incomes of married women of “restraints” which in the past have been used to defeat the claims of' creditors.—British Official Wireless.
