Attorney Reardon Claims That the Mar
riare License Law Does Not Become
Operative Until October 1, 1S95-NOVel
Defense Of a Man charged With Per-
jury.
PIrrsBUaG, October 3O.-WIIliam
ReardOn. ESQ, Co Criminal Court, raised
a point OF law which amounts 70 legal
sensation he was defending Thomas
McQuirk, charged with perjury, for
falsely swearing TO the age Of the wo-
man he married, and Mr.. Reardon
moved 70 Quash the Indictment on the
ground that there was no such ohense
under the law, as the marriage license
act was not In fo,ce and no license was
required 20 be taken out by parties who
desired 20 be married.
This caused Judge Magee to remark:
"Wby, Mr. ReardOn, you surely don't
make such statement in earnest?'
81 do, your honor, aud can prove it.
The Marriage License act was passed In
1855, aud was amended In 1898. Nv that
amendment on and after October l,lo95,
parties desiring to DO married in this
State must take ont license"
you mean 1855" said Judge Magee.
mo, I mean 1898, " replied Mr. Rear
don. II will send for the act OF 1898, d"
and he did so.
The act Of 1855 reads as follows:
THAT from and after the lst day OF
October, 1855, no person Within this
Commonwealth shall be Joined 10 mar
rage until license shall have been OBJ
tanned for that purpose frem the
clerk OF the Orphans Court in
the county where the marriage Is per-
formed.
The act Of 1883 reads as follows:
That from and after the LIST day OF
October, 1895, no person within the
commonwealth shall be joined in mar
rage until license shall have
been obtained for that purpose from
the clerk Of the Orphans Court wherein
either Of the paries resides, or 10 the
county where the marriage is per-
formed. A license so issued shall au-
thOrize the marriage 70 be performed in
any county Of this commonwealth"
This act, Mr. Rearton claims, repeal
ed the act OF 1855, aud as iI becomes
operative only in 1895, there Is at pres
ent no marriage license law In this
State, and consequently no such crime
as perjury for false swearing 60 the age
Of q person desiring TO take out mar
riage license.
Judge Magee said thabii the act was
correctly printed. Mr.. Reardon was
right, and the present marriage license
law would not be In force until 1895.
BY agreement OF counsel, certified
COPY OF the act was sent for and the
trial proceeded. Should the certified
COPY OF the act contain 1895 instead OF
1885 the occupation of Capt. Helber,
marriage license clerk, will be gone.
The point is a new one, aud, II sus-
tanned, will make Pennsylvania a reg
ular Gretna Green, as anyone can then
be married in this State without IL
cense. Every attorney spoken TO on the
subject agreed that If the act contained
in the bound volume OF laws is correctly
printed, there is no marriage license
law 10 this State, and ministers OF this
State and aldermen will reap a rich
harvest.
