btm rmHy there will only be removed certain rsucHosh that have hitherto rested .oy on the
lutheran congregations. Tits now necessary thai. children of the lutheran congregation mhbe
baptized within s weeks and the name ennedH the Chuchb0k; but with regard to heo other
congregations there is no limit. The meaning is then to put the LuHnan Congregation in the
same position whit the others by ENJOYING that restrictions; bWin order to afford Gng guarantee
tits prescribed THAT hep parents shall within one year after the birth of the child report to the IuAD
ran Clergyman for entry in then ministerial book the name they hhd to give the child. And
hBi institution might time bee extended to the other denominations
LIST Member for redenksed( Sma~l would before setting forth the few remarks he had to
make on hs Draft thank the Government for hvmgm introduced this Draft which has been much
wanted; thee government alone is motto BIT bMmed for not having it before now, but Other parties
extending NeI Law some chmgShave been mde ii; bma they are observation-disclosures,
be would not dwell on tben, but ony later y abw words in reference to one of those changes
Hewoudm w firstly Gla Intention to ueE English translation where the dhkh term "ByGgd"h has
been rendered by "e Judge" which is not orect; it should be the "SheGf;" the tern used

Sheriff. in phenhess be added after Judge" Another point is m6 T. where he thinks the
Translation is correct butt the Danish textnG thu fee for copy hte protocol entry is in the
translation pht S. in 1.-THE DAh ST. theft merh he supposed was he NmtOn-NM, he would
iketo seetwoc clauses STRUCK out ifs 5 6 and T. which dace the Ordinance and for which there is
no necessity viz: about stampppr fWa copy the protocol ey. TheS Sheriff can accord
ing to law expedite 10 such document except Osnmpdp paper so here BnO necessity to have it
mentioned there this Ordinance But he would 81 frhe1 and have a CLAUSE aMNd that such
copies haH be given without stmpedpapHr He could mo- see why this Community shOud be bur-
tRed With eavere EXPENSE for smht things than ST. Thomas; twill generally be poor people seek
ing for those copies Andtm tm an exemption from me of samppaper can be accorded is shwn
