I, The LORD CtIiiNCELLOR, from due consideration to the.
importance of this Bill, was Induced to move, that the order for
its oemnaltnteet le-day, be withdrawn, and that rise same be fixed
for so-mosruse. blduking at the clauses of this Bill, he had
remarked that shay contained a declaration of certain marriages
being void, concerning which there were serious and solemn
aroments now pending in Courts below, and most probably the
I decision of which would have to come, finally, by way of appeal
before tint Hoom. Lordships would, consequently, per-
detye the impropriety of now declaring veld what was the sub-
ject of a point of lase In amine and which would, eventually,
be for their judicial ottpaplty to decide.
ilord REDEStlteill concurred lit the propriety of postponing
the Order till to-rnorrcese, fur the reasons already stated. He
du) referred to the case new before the Court of Delegates,

requisite that mine prevision should be made against such actions
fried by enacting that both parties should appear to give their

produce a certificate of the necessary consent.

the laws that a marriage solemnised in any Christian country,
according to the Arm and usage of the place, was binding upon
those parties if they should afterwart's come to England, and he
was desirous that marriages to solemnised should not be set aside.
'the Order for going into the Committee was accordingly filed
for to-morrowe—Adieumed.
