Louisville Commercial New Albany Item: Re-
Gently County Clerk Mitchell was requested to
send an old lady in Indianapolis certificate of
her marriage in this city in 1882, on which de-
pended large pecun1ary consideration. The
clerk got down the old files and found the names
entered as having obtained marriage license, but
che minister's certificate certifying to the
marriage had never been returned, and conse-
euently the certificate could not be made com
plete, and may defeat the end to be obtained.
1t was just such cases as this that made the law
makers of this State pass a law compelling min
listers and all others empowered to snlemnize
marriage to make return of the same to the
clerk within ninety days, under penalty.
