to form an invalid marriage, then this clause acted with full

nanced ; besides, if their Lordships were to maintain pargn,tal
rights, they should look to the rights of the father
of the wife
as well as of the husband; but he (Lord Ellenborough)
could not conceive any circumstance under which the parent of
the woman should desire to see the marriage avoided. The
clause bore entirely on the weaker party : it was, in fact, an
encouragement to seduction, under the semblance of marriage;
and instead of the clause being introduced by the Right Rev.
Prelate and a Noble and Learned Lord, it would seem as if it
were the production of a set of dissolute minors, who were de-
sirous of legislating according to the morals professed by the
theatrical hero Don Juan. After some further observations,
the Noble Lord concluded by expressing his determination to
go fully into the subject when the Bill was committed, wldch,.
if convenient to the N9ble Lords on the other side, might be on
Monday.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY explained, and named
Tuesday as a more convenient day for going into the Commit-
tee, to which Lord ELLENBOROU On assented.
The Earl of WESTMORLAND Wiley opposed the clause.
The Bishop of CHESTER opposed the clause, as it seemed
to him directly contrary to the word of God - but he would re-
serve himself to prove what he had asserted when the Bill
should be in a Committee. The Reverend Prelate observed
at some length on the nature of the voidability clause, and
asked whether it was a clause propertsto be enacted in a Chris.

tions of the .Noble Lord (Ellenborough), contended that inces-
tuous marriages were null and void tib bath), according to the,
present law.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH would not be Positive alto the
correctness of his observation, but he would rather have the ex-
position of the law from a Learned Lord, than from the Rev.'
Prelate.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, they had been told it
was not a proper time to discuss the measure; therefore,'
though he had been appealed to, he would only say, that he
was clearly of opinion that the law of scripture. as well as the
law of the land, must be a good deal more considered than it
appeared to him they had yet been.
The Bill was then read a second time.—Adjourned.
