Mr. =EN said the essence of this bill lay in the let
clause. He had anxiously inquired into this matter, and be
did in his condense believe that a deadlier blow than this
bill was never aimed at the sanctity of the relearns el mar-
ried life. (Herr, hear.) He most most solemnly protest
spinet the principle of the bin.
The LORD-ADVOCATE thought It was their duty to
consider what elect this ball would have ups the law aa
now stood. He would take the liberty of explaining what
great and pal arra them were in the bill. It Mild
sot be in the of' hon. embers that by the luse
Scotland persons of the relationship referred to, having
connexion, were guilty of incest. All that this MA
provided was that rearrispe between irk pwsrn. shard

Viscount BURY explained that awe had bests no dis-
courtesy on his part in not iumwerteg the question pat to
him by the hon. member:opposite (lfelor Lygon). With
respect to Scotland, he did not wish to Intarfsre with the
Scotch law; but be thought it bud that the bent& of ths
law, if it poised, should not extend to Englishmen domiciled
