that, in this and other ease% the violation of the law ought
lead to its repeal, he asked the house on what ground
could they maintain it on the present omission ? Butte was
prepared to matrovert the fact that the violation of the
law was u described in the report. All that was cer-
tain in the report showed directly the contrary.
It was stated, as far as positive information went,
that the marriages of this description, in a particular pm
tion of England, amounted in 15 years to 1,600. Zia

purity and innocence through the effect of the law which
was now sought to be »peeled, would be afforded a license
for the commission of offences. For the public would not
limit themselves to the withdrawal of this particular prohi-
bition. When they saw parliament telexing a law which
was considered to be divine, they would go farther
than the honourablemover of the second reeding of the
bill, and future mantheions would report that it was useless
to resin further relaxations, because of the existence of cer-
tain impurities. It was nonsense to maintain that the '
poorer dame bad not similar feelings of propriety to those
satertaisied by the higher orders; and he for one opposed
the relaxation of the present law, because it had a tendency
to preserve parity of conduct la the humbler walks of
life. (Hear, hear.) He had strongly opposed the
Marriage Bill when it was before the house, sad he should
resist every ensure which had a tentleacy to promote the
celebration of the nuptial ceremony in mistrals' offices,
knowing the little importance which was attached to it
under such circumstances by the dame in question. (Hear.)
It now only remained for hum to urge • careful and cautious
conaideratioa, not of his opinions, because he asked no
credit to himself for any »gement" be had need,
but he solkited cousideration for the arguments of

referred es men downieg of reward and honour for having
been the means of pladag an oar hands the Scriptures, from
which they derived all knowledge and all comfort, and fur
having relieved their followers from the shackles which, pre-
vious to the establishment of the reformed church.', bound
the communities of Europe. (Cheers.) He implored the
house, therefore, la • case of this importance, not rashly to
interfere, and to stand where they did at present. A very
limited number of the prohibited marriages now took place, ,
and that amount was kept within proper limits by the die
couragesent given by the existing law. Remove the
restriction, however, and there was no knowing to what
extent the door would be thrown open to future impurity.
If there was ens side doubtful—and the relaxation of the
law was clearly doubtful—let them take the safe side, and
maintain the awes it was: sad, fa maintaining the law,

of all religious perneeleas, of which that house
was semposed. Filet of all he would take the Roman
sathelies. Their law was, that the dearth generally dis-
'permed el marriages with a deceased wile's sister but that
such mitiages seal& be solemnised car having obtained •
dispensable from the Pope. There was very little difficulty
in oh:alibi that dimmest's', end it was often granted on
the resemmeniaden eta bishop. The Ragan church, there-
fore, ce purely sealedastisal grounds, permitted the me.
noisy to take place, while the law of England stepped in
and prohibited it. He should vote in favour of the second
reading of the blil.
Mr. HAGGITT was of minim that upon the theological

steam were emjeined to the Jews, and not

ened by the opinion of the Christian church
throughout the whole pried of its existence ; ,
for it lad invariably expressed itself in opposition to mar-
riages of the kind. They were prohibited in the early coun-
cils. The eastern church adhered to its ancient rale in
opposition to them with peculiar tenacity. The Roman
catholic church allowed dispensations ; but these dispense:
doss wen not granted until • period in the history of that
church when it was overrun with corruption. But, from
the testimony of a bishop, it appeared that the dbyensations
were not granted in other countries, and that they were
only sometime gives in England. (Mar With refer
ewe to the English thumb, he begged to ask what would
be the effect on the church and state of this country
if they were placed in antagonistic positions ? The
church of England from the time of the Reformation had
supported the prohibition, and the moment the canons were
relaxed en evil would be inflicted on those who considered
the marriages in question as abominable marriages. If a
person went to a devout clergyman, who held such Marti.
ages to be incestuous, and requested that the ceremony
might be performed, what must be his answer ? If he acted
rightly, he would refuse to perform the ceremony. (Hear,
hear.) He believed that the social aspect of thb question
supported with wonderful fonts the theological grounds, and
that the question now was, whether • man should be com-
pelled to marry his sister-in-law, or whether he should
still be proltihted from entering into any such marriage
contract ? He hoped that ben. gentlemen in coming to a
decision would observe that this measure was only one of •
class, of which imity and lieendosome, under the specious
name of liberty, were the characteristics, and that they
would choose between them sad the doctrine of strict mo-
rality and obedience. Between throe two principles they
must decide—one, the principle of human folly ; the other,
that of dental truth. (Cheers.)
Mr. M. MILNEB said that the proposition bakes them
was one which it was very painful and difficult to decide, if
it were to be decided on theological grounds, because it those
grounds were Reed they at caossaperseded end rendered void
all others. But who was to dadde thalerin.ge,Certainly

slung aside all really political argument an consideration,
and greeds' themeless into an ecclesiastics' court for decid-
ing disputed theological questioes. He thought it would be
much better that the house should not assume any such au-
thority, but enter open the eensiderarden of the question
upm general grounds. He as • member of the chunk of
England should not enter upon • chain of argument which
would enforce upon others, not members of that church, the
eenclusloas at which he arrived. Bat the histety of the
Christian church, particular of its early period, regarding
marriage, admitted certain fluctuttlona and variety of opi-
nions, which almost invalidated the absolute authority of the
church on the subject. It would be, therefore, very
difilealt to be guided, solely by the decisions of the
early Christian church. Passing thence to the founders
of the reformed religion, he thought that honour-
able geatleseen opposite would find that the variability
of opinion in the church in mat'en of marriage presented
itself in • still more prominent way ; for it was matter of
notoriety that the question of polygamy had been seriously
entertained by Luther and Metancthon. (Hear, hear.) His
right hoe. friend (Mr. °esthete) wished to decide the
question on religious grounds. Bat how could he reconcile
with his attempt to do so the feet that one of the bishops o
his church had put his signature to the mammon-
datioa for • change In the law ? As for the question
of morality, it bad been sauce affected by the pro-
Timis state of the law. The pectin and spirit of
the law had not been such as to induce the people of
this country to look upon thus marriages in the light of
moral offences. A law permitting marriages, and regarding
them as voidable wee very different from marriages actually
void. The practical effect of the law thereupon was this,
that you might marry your deceased wife's sister, if no body
objected to at. The fact of the marriage being voidable was
not regarded by ptiblie opinion, The suite of public opinion,
before the change in the law, was that a marriage of this
kind might take place in a Molly of the highest respecta-
bility without social shame. The consequences, therefore,
were entirely legal ma. From the speeches made

Mr. K. SEYMER was of opinion that the question was
decided by the law of God, and therefore he had no option
bat to oppose the measure. He had read through the evi-
dence taken by the commission, and still retained tee (Milan
that their proceedings were of a one-aided tendency. Reny
member of that commission bean convinced daring the ta-
wdry that a change In the law was necessary, it must have
been at a very early stags of the proceedings. They had
heard both aides 011 tile religious put of the question, but on
the social question only ow ; for there was an or.
(liaised body in favour of the change in the law, but no
such tellanisatiou on the other side. The prohibited
degrees were anSclently well-defined now ; the only ques-
tion was as to the marriages celebrated abroad, and
if a short set were passed declaring such marriages illegal,
and declaring that parliament would not alter the existing
law, it would have the effect of greatly discouraging the
practice. The evidence before the commission showed that
cfrve"ft at present pPcrtlicireseat ntTbadatzdb:eionseqcdePar:cuesnicestldyerftharclelmyhardshimshcror:apiceiroabyulaidthantcostiabeaw
feeling on the subject of marriage which was rather alarm-
ing : in the diocese of Manchester he was informed the state
of things was frichteed is tble , rise•st $ and that many per-
sons otherwise of good angel conduct, scrupled not to
contract marriages within the prohibited degrees.
Allusion had best made to the practice of ancient
nation • and it was know* that the Emperor Claudius
married' his niece; hence the importance of adhering to
the Christian law. It was a remarkable fact that halt the
eases prohibited in the book of Leviticus were cases of af-
finity, and the other half cases of consanguinity. The prat.
tics could not be defended, from the ch cumstance of its
having been muted to by some few; for if wrong had been
dons once, that was no reason why it should be repeated.
Some might say this was one of the penalties we paid
fu a state church ,• but he denied that the free action
of the church ought to be fettered by her endowment.
He believed that the church had placed the degrees of
affinity and consanguinity on the same ground, on the scrip-
tural principle " that men sad wife were one flesh." Some
might cell this mystical; for then were persons who thought
everything mystical that was not to be found in Adam Smith
or Nassau Senior; but he contended that the principle was
religious and scriptural. (Hear.)
The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY said he would
make one or two observations with reference to the allega-
tion that unions between uncle and niece had been sanc-
tioned by the church of Rome. According to the authority
of that church, the Pope could grant no dispensation con-
trary to the law of God. (Hear.) The theory was, that the
inferior could cause no infraction of the law when a dis-
pensation was given by the superior. Such being the
ease, he was of opinion that the practice of the Roman ca-
tholic church was not contrary to the law of God. (Hear,
hear.) Having stated that, he would leave the argument
on that subject, as well as that in reference to the dew of
antiquity which had been cited. He was in favour of the
bill became be regarded the restriction as uojust to all
Roman catholic' who bad obtained dispensation from the
Pope—(kear, hear)—because, being conscientious' and pro-
perly married, their children were yet illegitimate by the law
of the country. (Haw, bear.) He regarded it, also. as an
iu judos to that great body of diameters who framed their
acts by their own conscientious inter; rotation of scripture,
and, from that interpretation, considered that such marriages
should be. He thought it unjust, ale, to that large portion
of the member of the church of Eoglaad who in that respect
agreed with the dissenters ; and he con: idered it not unjust to
that portion of the Anglican elturnewho were opposed to the
bill. He should give the measure his cheerful &s-
--end, trusting that the legislature would feel it their duty to
pass it. (Hear, hear.) •
Mr. J. O'CONNELL said it was with pain be differed in
opinion from the noble lewd who had just spoken. Oa prin-
ciple he was entirely opposed to the bill. He complained
that the Roman catholic members had been subjected to a
el canna, which w most indecent and improper ;
Tacit: as
re had been seat them, as though it were a private
bill. It was said the restriction produced immorality ; he
feared its removal would lead to still greater immorality;
it might excite jealousies, and even prompt to murder. It
would make the situation of the sister-in-law a very deli-
cate orte. All these were strong nouns with him for op-
posing the measure.
Mr. COCKBURN said he was anxious that this measure
should receive the veey careful considera•ion of the hone.
The act which it wasintended to repeal had been introduced
Into the other house without any such clans as that now
sought to be defended. It bad been introduced for a totally
different purpose—to protect marriages liable to be impugned
by the institution of legal proceedisp, and inventing them
from being so assailed beyond a given period after the mar-
riage. TM' was done, not with any »Wince to the general
interests of society, but for the purpose of protecting pa:-
dealer parties against consequences. (Hear, hear.) In the
ruse of the discussion, it was suggested that it would be
better at Gun to remove the anomalous state of the law,
and, instead of allowing marriages then voidable to be
avoided within a specific time, to make all such mar-
riages void for the future. Accordingly, the Ail was so
nosed ; in other words, the particular 'Kum was
protested by the sacrifice of all those who might be found in
a similar predicament. (Hear, hear.) When the bill came
to that tense the clause was strongly opposed ; but, it being
seer*e time for prorogation, it was suggested by the sup-
ra'ses of the bill, particularly Sir William Follett, who had
the shame of it, that the rejection of the clause might
arbieger its safety in the other home ; that the bill should
be pawed far the sake of the good it did, and with the under-
standing that, when the matter was again submitted to the
legislature, this point should be considered se one particularly
deserving its notice. (Hear. hear.) He testily admitted
that if the position of the right hon. member for the [lnver-
shy of Cambridge was tenable, there was an end of the ques-
tion—if he could satisfy the hone that the measure was
directly prohibited by the divine law, cadet reestio. But
let mot the matter be treated exclusively as a theological quie-
tism. If it was contrary to the divine law, let the law be cited.
He apprehended the hone was as competent to deal with the
question as any set of churchmen. (Hear, hear.) The right
hon. gentleman (Mr. anthem) had occupied at least belt
his speech in alleging that these marriages were contrary to
the 'vine law: why had he not turned to tee law, and
Proved it ? For this simple reason, there was not in the
whole range of Scripture any such restriction. Only one
passage in scripture was supposed to refer to the matter, and
the words were In effect these :—" Thou shalt ,not take to
wife her sister, to vex her, to be beside her, in her lifetime."
These words clearly related to the marriage of two sisters.
—(hear, hear)—and this was the construction put upon them
by • vast number of the most eminent divises,—Calvin, Dr.
Dodd, Michaelis, Dr. Chalmers, and many others. On the
other aide, not a single authority could be cited to show that
those words bore the construction now attempted to be put
on them. Was It to be said that because the church thought
it right to assert that marriages of this description were not
lawful, that this house was to be led away by the authority
of the church, instead of viewing it in a moral and 'odd,
and even religion, point of view. (Hear.) Bat it was said
theater:lt wee always unanimous as to the inadmissibility of
these marriage% and the hon. gentleman opposite referred to
the esely onsteds of the choral' in proof of that assertion.
N. doubt at the earliest period of the church they found a
of them. Bet the reason of this was to be found
fain% of the law of the Bonus empire, which, by a
dedem paean to that law, made the relationship that en-
sued shim marriage a relstionhip of ecessanguinity
Monad eta itelatiousid of affinity. (Hear, beer.) When that
empire biome it rah natural that the Christians
Mead legit to the lair =Met Which was to regulate them
la sateen of matrimonial woman. (Hear.) This state
of the Rows law favoured*. views of the early fathers
of the church, who, however groat their learning and reli-
gious seal, were desirous of introducing fate the relation of
life a mistaken aseeticiem, which they carried to a most la-
mentable extent. (Hear.) Why, the early church prohi-
bited third marriage" altogether: according to the expression
of one of We holy fathers, a man who married a third
time was no better than a hog. (Laughter.) They looked
upon marriage as a thing to be tolerwed, not to be time-
Med. A second marrlene was disgusting, but • third
marriage was denounced as an unholy abomination.
(Laughter.) But although the canons of the church probi.
Menthols marriages, they were never binding on the Chris-
tian world. Even third marriages were allowed in these
days. They also placed restrictions on the clergy which the
clergy were the first to cast off. Priests and -bishops were
prohibited from marrying. The present state of the law
was to be traced to the time of Henry the Eighth, an origin
which right thinking men would consider to be both
unholy and polluted. The 26th of Henry VIII.
was repealed when Mast came to the throne,
but the se, in Mary's reign was repealed in the subsequent
reign of Elisabeth.
dean was revived. It was in consequence of this act that
and consequently the act of the 25th of
Elisabeth and the children of the other wives of Henry VIII
were legitimatised, end entitled to sit upon the throne.
was net surprising, therefore, that the divines of that and
subsequent reigns should have supported an act which gas
protestant sovereigns to the throne. It should be recollected,
however, that the law had its origin in the unbridled lust of
the wont monarch that ever sat upon the throne of England.
(Rear, hear.) Such was the moral begirniug of this law.
(Hear, hear.) But it was said that the English law had made
these marriages illegal. No doubt it was right that the lay
should be obeyed ; but at the same time it war
duty of those who made the laws to interfere
little as possible with the freedom of individual
union and human affections, unlem they were com-
pelled to do so by an overwhelming need sity.
He would now consider the question en its real merits.
The first argument used by the opponents of the measure
was that if these marriages were permitted it would lead to
domestic profligacy sad immorality, and that the husband
