- 11.0tRIAGE ACT.
Lord ELLIENBOROUGH- slid 'Boit he took the tat
oppbrtnnity • Which tfii fOrniplif the Rouse allowe , to
lay ok the table a Bill to intend the 31arriage Act pas-
sed last year. lids step, on his part, would prove the
Perfect .111OCeilly with which he wished to correct the
imperfections of that Act, and to render it effective. It
had been said daring the last Session that he and the
other friends of the Bill were only anxious to carry the 1
retrospective part of the measure. This they had
"lime denied, and had expressed their wish to make
thanitispective part as perfect as it is possible. It Has
wltili pinch regret that he bar/learned that various in-
ebtrvenlentes had been;, &Mimi to arise from the Bill.
Though pot exactly pware'rif them last year, yet seeing
'thatalte House would have tht experience of six months
to ascertain,. whenever might require correction, their
Lordships had thought it advisable to establish a princi-
ple which they conceived was most consonant with
morality and religion. ' That some inconveniences bad
arisen, he was drilling . to allow ; hitt he thought that
they. had irein • ezaggeratinl, and that there was some.
not:gybe disinterested in the clamour which had
Wen raised aboittbem. He felt however every desire
'to consider and correct them. He had taken the advice
'of the best informed persons etith femme LI - the best
wade of malting the oeetwearyinsenduients. ,Thelsge-
Lmode would bar*. bettor:, to Weeders a Bill
ine. sem h -,-• Tam -I•44Aia-- osaaAlii Act ria:
to be repeated. •Rittibe.- had found that Mach
Inconvenience woulditelikollyto arise front such a Mode,
and that it would Toed CO predate an Act confused and
unintelligible to all ex WV 'wryer'. He had therefore
determined ,ter adept a different way. It was to introduce
a Bill which 'Would leave only the first clausrof the pre-
sent Act staading, and skould repeal the whole of the
prospective clauses. It would then rentai• with their
Lordships to re-enact such parts of the repealed clauses
as they might deem expedient,: and to introduce what
new ones they might think proper. The Hansa had
agreed last year to two important poiatstlaat-marriages
once solemnised shoUld be good, eid that sufficieut pro.
tection should beprovided to prevent their undue solemn-
ization. That .protection or security be should propose
to be given in the shape of oaths on the part of the
allies, with the penalty affixed to-perjory, in case
t shliald be
,cominitted. - There Would therefore be a
Isar IM their ikiedelipt rand whatever parte
of the
.ancient Act they isrghttrish to.retain, as well as
ROY Wilt elekttnint winch ,they might contemplate,
might, Wretaised ;Or introduced .in the shape of
amendments. In this .• New Bill be timid .think it
righacto propose what • appeared to him • to be suffici•
eat securities. If any other Noble Lord thought that they
were out suthcient,• he might suggest day additions
which he might consider oecessary. The ',entities
which he (Lord E.) shovU pcopose. wonid be oldhsthat
the partirs were of:the. ego of .21 ; and& it 44ave that

Whom the twarridge was solemnised; and;-11They would
be extremely short, the additinnal delay to the ceremony
would not exceed two thinntes, and yet wodid give all
the secbrity required. - The Minister who should' fail In

meanour, stud the usual punishment sbould.be inflicted

House,-he had beim made as understandAhet limo
some informailtyinllteinanner in Which the awe Bill:
was drawn our, which would prevent its being laid on
the table foe the reseed. He should therefore not sub.
mit it to their Lordships till Monday next. .
Lord REVESDALB. in a very low tone made come:
observations on the errors of the existing( Act, aorml. of
which, he was convinced, were blunders of transcri ries.
With respect to the
.proposal of the Noble Lord, that the
oaths shoold-be adunaietered by the Minister at theeetoi
went of the•soletunization .of the marriage, it would in.
cases of marriage by-license, remove the responsibility
from those who bad granted the license to the odiciatiag
minister. He also thought ,that the introduction of
mons in the marriage ceremony. would produce much
inconvenience. especially io those parishes whet. some.,.•
times twenty or twesty-hve marriages were to be solemn
ized the same day. It was a question too,-whether t
minister should not be satisfied with respect •to OW
qualik diens of threparties, before he allowed the
to be published. -. ,
The LORD CHANCELLOR declared that there was
no one alteration that he had proposed in the BM of
last year, which he would not make again if the sans.
Bill was before the Itouse. Bnt their Lordships and
the Legislature having adopted its principle. be bowed is
all subjection to their decision. His noble friend bad
said that a great deal of clamour had been raised with i
respect to tLo provisions of that Bill: but he did not.'
believe that more complaints bed been -uttered than were.:
justly due. He should make no other observation at
present, except to rettneWhis noble friend 'haulm would'
he pleased to give the House sadicient fine to consider
the alterations to he matte ili..so important -a measure,
that their Lordships might at last produce unite Bill as
wield place the law- of matrimony on a safe and-proper
