Petitions were presenteo Irwin certain Dissenters at York, in the borough of Soutliwark,.rand iu Meld. stone, complaining that the Marriage Service of the Established Church contained expressions at vari ance with their religions opinions,• and that they might he excused from observing that form.—Read and laid on the table. . Mr. W. SMITH then said, he rose to bring fur ward his motion regeriling'the Marriage Act, forti fied by these several Petitions, coming from us respectable a body of mete as any in the country. The grievance complained of was expressed in the shortest terms in the Petitions. It was this, that the marriage service required by the existing law was inconsistent with the religious opinions which the Petitioners conscientiously entertained. They further stated, that the matrimonial union had been considered as a mere civil contract, and therefore they desired an alteration in the law. Dissenters in general Were averse to the marriage service, but his then - clients purbcularly, on ac count of some expressions recognising the doctrine of the Trinity, which they did not hold, and from the penalties attending wind. last belief they had been relieved about five years ago, lie hoped such • change would be made as would free Otero from this burden also. 'lnce Hoc,. Gentleman then referred to the Marriage Act, 26 ciro: 11., coed to the °pillions of Blackstone, to shew that its our law marriage wile essentially consideserl as a civil contract, es it was in many other kingdoms of Europe. In the Act there was a protecting clause fur Quakers and Jews. In the lith Charles 11. rendering void all marriages solemnised before Justices of Peace, there was not one word to be found describing the cereimmy 119 rt religious one.— The mede by which he would propose to remedy the existing iticonvenience, which was, to many in dividuals, a very serious one, would be, not to change or ulcer ally expression or expressions at the marriage, ceremony, but to leave out all the words after a errata* li-wile. The marriage - ceremony, by which the crisitract was completely fulfilled, ended with thee words, a n d thereto I give you my troth"—front the ttttt mewl-meta of the form to this poirit, might ►rnuain Istootsclorel—but lie proposed to omit ell that fullowrel, us far : a the ni:irriage of Dissenters was cosicerned. I n hit opinion, the measure which lee sal Red to the House was free from objection. It only gave to the minister, when persons about to be married requested tlott a certain portion of the cerence n ►huuld be omitted, the power of complying with the request. He did not mean to touch the place where, or person by whom the ceremony was to be perforated; his object was to prevent irdividualit from goiiig through that part of the form which was unpleasant to their feelings, and which, of course, could not be agreeable to the person officiating: The Bill, if agreed to, would not interfere with the register of marriage or the regular and established descent of property, but would merely go to this beneficial object. to relieve the feelings of conscientious people from a form which was clot congenial with their ideas. I.limeter indtviduids might consider to ir 'Uwe more Or I tem as a religions ceremony. 11.. particala► blew which they took of it ou g ht Ire consulted in the form of the cerement•.

ACTS IN DESUETUDE (SCOTLAND) BILL. 111 r. BoswELL. ill 111011!rg that the Report of this Bill he received, entered into • short defence of its provisions. He was obliged, lie observed, in g iv e tip the Scotch Statutes—but, from the 'vinegar adopted in Scotland, by winch laws fell into desue tude, under certain ciieumstanccs, he deemed the. Bill necessary, in order to prevent the operation of the principle on Acts passed since the Unino. The opposition to this measure created some fill:- prise in his mind, but certainly on regret—for, it were improper, lie would he the last moo sin. would wish it to succeed. One of the nychoori to the measure was, that, siege the Union, l, stance had occurred of a British statute too desuetude. But, as such a circumstance might happen, according to the practice of the Courts of Scotland, the Bill appeared to be otec.Nsiooy —for it would be a most extraordinary thing, it, by the operation of this custout of desuetude, an Act, passed in the British Parliament, for the gevero meta of the two countries, should be to hill force in England, end yet be inefficient in Scot land. To prevent this incongruity he propo,ea tie present as si'declaratory Act, by the provisions of which the principle of desuetude could nut extend to Acts passed since the Union. Mr..l. I'. URANT said, if there Mere slo iiistaove in which an Act of the British Parliament, lualistd since the Union, had tollen lido desuetude in Scotland, that ciicumblutice atrologly argued. that there was no necessity fur thus measure —and, to legislate unnecesraiily, be conceived to lie a most VI7OIICOUS practice. The preamble of the Bill said, whereas certain Acts of the Parliament of Scotland have fillets into ilepeteturle." Thar this was the fact lie admitted. It was the law of Scotland as of Rome, sepposing all law to arise from the will of the people, who might from er abrogate whatever statutes they pleased. " And whereas," continued the preamble, " doubts nosy arise as to the principle of desuetude extending la Acts of the British Parliament. passed since •ti:r Union." Now if the Learned Gentleman mil k ) sheu him ally declaratory law. that set forth as the reasisi for its enactment that doubts might arise, then los objection would be removed. But declaratory lass were alone enacted where doubts hall really ar-e,.. He regretted the passion which at precut ett..tu-u1 lOr legislating on all subjects. If n Gentleman now felt a doubt, lie went to Parliament immu , diately for a Bill to remove it. This lie conceit..l to be a very iticouvement practice, pirticulau:c where declaratory laws were called for, which tend ed to curate doubts, where. in feet, Hone lt3tl re' viodsly existed. The [trsect was then brought un by Mr. Ilkocuer4 ; a nd , on the question " That thr,e amendments he now considered," Mr. J. P. CitANT moved " That the Lima fir taken into con.ideration this day Aix months." Au Hou. Member argued, the, by the Act cf Union, all the rights sod privileges which were enjoyed prior to that event, were confirmed to Scot land. If this were the close, the principle of deriir. tulle most remain in 01/1•111t14111 111 that NATIO ry.••• and must affect laws enacted by the Driondi [..-1,74- lature, which extended over the riiirre.
