a Scotch Marriage.

By the act of 1896 the parties sign
in the presence of two witnesses
declaration that they take each other
as husband and wife. They then pre-
sent Il petition 10 tue sheriff asking
him to certify that they have been
married and that one or both OF them
had their usual residence In Scotland
before the marriage or had resided
there for twenty-one days preceding
1t. This petition may be presented
within three months of the declara-
ton constituting the marriage. but Is
usually presented within three hours.
The parties and witnesses attend be-
fore the sheriff, and the witnesses con
firm on oath the statements OF fact.
The sheriff thereupon grants warrant
10 the registrar to register the mar
rage. The registration can then be
completed at once. The whole pro
cedure takes only an hour or two. ana
the cost is only few shillings. On
the eve OF the new year and summer
