The announcement of the numbers was received with
loud cheers by the Opp sition.
MARRIAGES, &c., (IRELAND) BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill.
On clause 2,
Mr. BUTT explained that it was a mistake to say that
the law of marriage in Ireland was the same as in England.
The only provision against clandestine marriages was that
persons presenting themselves to be married before the re-
gistrar should state the denomination to which they be-
longed, and that the registrar should despatch per post an
intimation to that effect to their pastor. This was not the
case in England, for a notice of the proposed marriage was
hung up in the registrar's office for 21 days. He advised
the hon. baronet (Sir E. Grogan) to adopt the English
clause. Here any ten persons calling themselves a religious
body, though they might be an Agapemone, could under
this get a license and celebrate marriage among their
members.

Sir H. CAIRNS defended the clauses, saying that they
were not susceptible of the interpretation put upon them
by the hon. and learned member.
After some discussion, in which Mr. Dawson, Mr.
M'Donogh, Mr. Longfield, and Mr. Butt took part,
Sir E. GROGAN expressed his desire to amend the
bill to any reasonable extent that might be required.
After a few words from Sir R. Peel, Sir H. Cairns, and
Mr. Whiteside, some verbal amendments were added in
clauses up to 6, on the motion of Sir E. GROGAN.
Sir E. GROGAN proposed in clause 7, line 30, to leave
out from the commencement to "registrar," in line 35, in-
clusive, and insert, " the presence of the registrar shall not
be necessary at any marriage celebrated under the provi-
sions of this act, in any house of worship registered or cer-
tified under the said recited act."
Mr, BUTT opposed the alteration, and suggested that
the words "ordained minister" ought to be omitted; this
would lead to much confusion.

Sir E. GROGAN explained that the use of the word
" ordained" had been urged upon him by ministers of Dis-
senting bodies in Ireland.

Mr. B ITTT objected to the validity of marriages and the
legitimacy of children being lett open to doubt to meet the
jealousies of Dissenting clergymen, who were anxious, no
doubt, to have their ordination according to their own ideas
recognised in an Act of Parliament, and which might sub-
sequently turn out to be no proper ordination at all.
The word " ordained" was struck out of the clause.

Clauses 11 and 12 were omitted.
The other clauses, with some verbal amendments, were
agreed to,

The house resumed.
RECORD OFFICE.

On the motion of C lonel WHITE, an address for copy
of a letter from the Master of the Rolls to the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, with reference to the
alleged abstraction from the Record Office of certain State
papers, was agreed to.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the house adjourned.
