CLERKEN WELL.

Mary Clarke, an interesting-looking girl, about 16 years of
age, was charged before Mr. Greenwood with having com-
mitted a number of robberies in the vicinity of Somers-town,
Camden-town, and KeEtish-town. The prisoner was deeply
affected, and wept all the time she was in the dock.
From the evidence of a number of witnesses who were in
attendance, it appeared that a gentleman, named Lambden,
residing in Albion-terrace, Somers-town, hearing a noise in
his hall, went down and found the prisoner concealed in the
yard. She had with her a large bundle, containing a damask
table-cloth, some sheets, and a quantity of wearing ap-
parel, and said she wanted to see a lady named
Smith. No person of that name being known, and
the prisoner being unable to give any more satisfactory
account of herself, Mr. Lambden gave her in charge to a
policeman, when it was ascertained that the house of Mr.
Rutherford, at No. 4, York-place, Somers.town, had been
robbed of several articles, amongst which were the sheets
and table-cloths produced is court this day.
The constable said that he had not as yet had time to
make inquiries after the owners of other property which had
been found upon the prisoner.
Mr. GREENWOOD committed her for trial on the charge of
robbing Mr. Rutherford, but ordered her to be brought up
again on Monday, when it was expected the policeman would
be able to perfect other charges in the same neighbourhood
against her,

MARRIAGES IN SCOTLAND BILL.
The following is a copy of the Bill to amend the law
of Scotland affecting the constitution of marriage, which was
introduced by the Lord Advocate, and read a first time in
the House of Commons on Monday :
Sec. 1. Whereas it is expedient that the law of mar-
riage in Scotland should be amended as far as the same
affects the constitution of marriage in that country; be
it enacted by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by
and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and
temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assem-
bled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after
the last day of March, 1848, excepting as hereinafter ex-
cepted and provided, no marriage to be contracted in Scot-
land shall be valid or effectual unless it shall be registered
by the parties contracting the same, in terms of an Act
passed in the present session of Parliament, intituled "An
Act for Registering Births, Deaths, and Marriages in Scot-
land," by the said parties appearing in presence of the Regis-
trar, and then and there signing before witnesses the entry of
their marriage in the register, and having the same other-
wise registered in the manner provided by the said Act, in
the case of the registration of marriages by the parties them-
selves contracting marriage; upon which registration only
the marriage shall be held to be contracted or valid or effec-
tual to any effect or purpose whatever : and it is hereby de-
clared that such registration shallof itself constitute marriage,
and such parties shall thereafter be held and deemed to be
married parties to all effects and purposes whatever.
2. Provided always, and be it enacted, that nothing herein
contained shall affect, or be held or construed to affect, the
validity of any marriage where the marriage has been
solemnised in presence of a clergyman, or of a party profess-
ing to be acting as and believed to be a clergyman, or, in the
case of Jews, has been solemnised according to the rites ob-
served by persons professing the Jewish religion, or, in the
case of Quakers, according to the rites or form observed by
persons belonging to the Society of Friends, commonly called
Quakers.

3. And be it enacted, that the word " clergymen,"
shall include all clergymen or ministers of religion au-
thorised to solemnise marriages, whether belonging to
the Established Church or any other church, or to any
sect or persuasion, by whatever name or denomination
known.

4. And be it enacted, that this Act may be amended or
repealed by any Act to be passed during the present session
of Parliament.
