(Sittings at Nisi Prins.)
IMPORTANT DECISION.
TEE QUEEN V. CHADWICK.—MARRYING A PECgABIII
WIFE'S SISTER.
Sir FITZROY KELLY this morning addressed the
Court, in reply to the arguments adduced en
wife other side, that a marriage with a deceased'il
sister was within the prohibited or Levitical degreeel
and that therefore such contracts were unlawful, an
i
contrary to the law of God. The Learned Counselcontended at great length that such marriages were
perfectly lawful, as they were fully in accordance
with the law of God, and repeated, in support of thie
view the arguments advanced by him on MondSls
which were reported in The Sun of that day.
Lord DENMAN delivered judgment. He said during.
the arguments they had heard it had been asserted
that there were no less than six different interPrett,
:tions of the passages in Leviticus. The Court cell
not, however, inquire whether the interpreters of 03_
Bible had discharged their duties properly' nr,
whether they had fallen into error. They could no
constitute themselves into a court of error on the
se
points. They must look entirely at the law in fore
on the subject; and, in his opinion, under .the dot
of William the Fourth s,
the marriage with
deceased wife's sister was void. The Lord Chief
Justice referred at great length to the diffe;
rent alterations made in the law since the time
of Henry VIII., and in the course of his voluinv
nous address expressed his sincere regret at the con-
sequences which might ensue from the decision et
the Court.
The other Learned Judges agreed in the judgment
of the Chief Justice.
According to Sir F. Kelly, the decision of the COOl4
would destroy the legitimacy of 5,000 children/ be;
sides rendering these marriages in the eye of the lair
incestuous, and against the law of God.
