SCOTCH MARRIAGE LAw.-Fearful and
wonderful are the vagares of the Scotch
marriage law. From time out Of mind it
has Eeen considered legal for people to
marry merely by making declaration in
the presence of witnesses. But by statute
of Charles H., which is about as obsolete as
the Lords Day act such marriage was for
hidden and declared punishable. Last week
couple were brought up at the Edinburgh
Police Court for having contravened this
statute by declaring themselves husband
and wife before witnesses. They pleaded
guilty, and were fined a shilling each.
Oddly enough, however, the conviction it
self becomes legal celebration Of the mar
rage, and the document recording it is
certificate of marriage which can he produc~
ed in case of necessity.
