UNLAWFUL MARRIAGE OF CouaNs.-By
an act passed in 1885, 5th and 9Th, William
w., all marriages of cousins, subsequent to
the passing of the act, are ilIeg,I, null and
void. The issues of such marrisges are
considered illegitima'e ; and if the father
die intestate the children are excluded from
inheriting any Of his property /; or, if he
make a will, are subject to a legacy duty of
ten per cent. How will this act affect the
Royal marriage! The deterioration Of the
offspring in all such alliances is a circum
stance quite notorious. Look at the Bour-
bons, who intermarried until none were left
save fools, imbeciles and madnen. The old
Levitical law was not made without an
object.-N. World.
