TOO much, let them give at least $1,000.

tain 10000, the sum that is needed. we
are rot SO foolish as to refuse $4,000. That

Senate bill No. 104, an act amendstory t

the parish of Orleans.
q TIE bill was taken from lie ca]enda
< and read once.
Mr.. Isabelle: l hope, Mr.. Speaker. tn
rs bill will pass the House without delay
& It passed the Senate without Il dis:entil
R voice. This is, in my opinion, and from
& what 7 have been able 10 learn from 90
sci sarvation, bill that is much needed
# especially IN the parish Of Orleans
# MANY are the marriages which are sol
emnized in this city, and there should 81
M list a stringent law providing for the prope
and punctual recording, at specified places
81 Of all marriages. 1t is to the lnteres
e Of the offspring that,may be issue OF a mai
rage that the fact and date OF such mal
IA riage be recorded where it viii be pre-
served. Many child has been deprive
OF its Just inheritance in property, an
even in name, becausa thers had been Il
record. OF the soiemnization Of the mar
rage of its parents. The history OF sue
cession cases in this parish will convinc
any right-thinking mind of the nacessit
of such law as this.
1 desire the passage OF such law
this, because there is, to some extent, i
vogue in this parish a practice l want
see stopped; and that practice is,
marry IN this parish with ali due soiemu
ty under authority Of license obtaIne
from a Justice of the Peace, then live t
gether in the eyes of God ana man as nj
band and wife for several months, whe
one of the parties will 60 off 10 some oth'
parish-for instance, ala-and tibet
marry again in the same way Wal
this bigamy stopped. tLaughter}.-
The bill was referred to the JUdlc-a'
Committee.
