a view to test the. validity of Judge

to do so by three Of the subscribcrstn

is unders' ood, that If the man,mission
were to he carried into effect now, it
would p"t an end to he appeal which
has been taken t" the Supreme Cmr, of
New York, and prevent an appeal to
any higher tribunal. It appears that

Tl1ai thGiStrs have for
some time past graceds our 1Iyn,rl,,-
ial column ni,A tflt' large number III
tIiSsc, which Mey say arc TO come of
shortly. have suggested to us the pre-
prcty Of publishing the following
Chapter, from the "Comic B!acks,o,iGn
OF Punch" tnr tire benefit Of t!iosc
d6iipcs. who may be un!carned in the
letter Of the law. t.
OF HuusbsantY and wife.
We come now to treat Of husband
and wife: and shall inquire, first, how
marriages may he lns,le, which will
be interesting tc lovers: stcundv, how
marriages may bc dissolved, which
will hc Interesting to unhappy couples:
and lastly, what are Tie l"gll effects OF
marriage, Which pt:!l kc Interesting to
those who have cxtravagant wives. for
whose debts the husbands are liable.
To make marriage thfc.' things are
cd;-lr>t, that the parties y*iIi
marry: secondly that they cun; and
thirdly, that they do; thongh to us it
seems that if they do. it matters lit
tie whether they 1cH, and that if they
FwiH, il is of little consequence whrth-
CT they coh;, for if they do, they do,
and ii they wjU, they mnxf; because
where there is aciiF:hcre is ,cay, and
therefore they can if they choose; and
If they aomt, it is because they ront,
which brings US 70 the conclusion, that
If they ID, it is absurd to speculate
upon whether they wiU or can marry.
1t has been laid down very clearly
in all the books, that in general all per-
sons arc able to marry, unicss they
arc unable, and the fine old consti-
tutionaI n,axim, that "q man maE not
marry his grrAs!T:other," ought 10
be written III letters of gold oyer every
domestic hearth in the British d0min-
ions. There are some legal disabili-
ties TO alnarriagc, such rs he slight i'm
pcdimcnt O, being married already; aud
one or two other obstacles, which arc
too well known to require dwelling ON.
II q fathers heart should happen to
be particularly iiinty, q child un:
der aye has no remedy, but a
5 ony guardian may be Macadamizcd
by the Court OF Chnncery; that is
70 say, a marriage to which" he ob-
ccts may be ordered to take place in
spite of him Another incapacity is
want of reason in either Of the par
ties; but if wunt of reason really pre-
vented u marriage from taking place,
there would be an end to half the
matches that arc entered into.
