S. 7s) that marriage at common law is good,
notwithstanding the statutes, unless they con-
tain express words of nullity, would apply to
q marriage in the District Of Columbia without
license and without Il clergyman to perform
the ceremony. The Maryland law of l177 Is

II presCribes n penalty of 900 for marrying
contrary to the statute But II contains no
express words Of nullity as tn Il common law

court may inquire Into, hear, and determine,
either upon Indictment or petition OF either
party, the validity of any marriage, and may
declare any marriage contrary to the table In
this act or any second marriage, the first sub
