marriage laws of Scotland. We call them abom-
Unable, for they are the curse OF the Scottish
genealogy One often hears them extoed as
beneficial to the community, but to argue that
point we should need to discuss the social ethics
OF many matters. and we prefer to leave that
side of the question open matter, so far as we
ourselves concerned
The marriage laws in Scotland were and are
0or they remain unaltered) atroclously simple.
and therein lay the temptation and attraction
Of Gretna Green. Probably the novel-readins
public will be shocked to hear that there is no
such definite place Gretna Green; the name
applies to district comprising a number
OF villages or hamlets some miles apart All
that was necessary to get over the border
into Scotland, and there make the necessary
contract before witnesses. The blackSmltn5
shop on the high road north from Carlisle was
the most easily accessible, and was probably
the best known. but there were some houses
lust over the border which kept witnesses at
hand and retained a register OF the contracts
entered into. The registers. however, were
secondary matter. and the fees demanded were
frequently large and. where secrecy was an OBJ
ject extortionate
Those Gretna Green marriages still occasion
ally take place, though now only between resi-
dents in the neghborhood; but as similar cere-
monies take place all over Scotland there is
nothing especially distinctive abolt the con-

tracts made at these Gretna Green marrying
shops. But unless actual and proper cere-
mony takes place we believe these Scottish mar
riages are not valid upon persons where both
are OF English domice, though to those in
tending to elOpe we can offer the consolation OF
the fact that the preliminary residence and adj
vertisement necessary in England are not COM
pulsory In Scotland. and a marriage In a Scot
fish church is binding. So a couple Of return
tickets to Scotland may still carry matrimonial
advantages. The English law attaches great
weight to domice. and provided domicile be
established a marriage legal under the laws OF
the place of domicile is held to be valid in Eng
land But in the face OF Lord Hardwcke's act
we really wonder why a Gretna Green mar
riage could ever have been held to be binding
on persons OF English domice.

will supply denouement to the wares OF sue

facts OF Gretna Green marriages and the stfll

tiers are widely different from the picturesque
romance which we associate with the days Of
