![fees for which are véry much higher than those paid for the banns or the ordinary certificate, A registrar cannot givea license for marriage in church, as, although his ordinary certificate is usually accepted in place of banns, a minister may insist on banns or episcopal license when the marriage is in church. The law of England requires that the actual ceremony take place between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3 p.m, before witnesses, and that it be duly registered. If it is not in the parish church, but in a dissenting chapel or other place of worship, it may be performed by the minister or other ‘‘ authorised person.” IRELAND.—The law in regard to what constitutes marriage is practically the same as that of England, although the ceremonies may differ owing to what may be the various religious persuasions of the con- tracting parties. : Z SCOTLAND.—In Scotland the orthodox fashion is by the proclamation of banns in the parish church, which now only costs about as. 6d., or by having the names of the contracting parties exhibited on the **notice board” outside the registrar's office. The jatter is frequently the most convenient. Irregular marriages, or civil marriages as they are called, are quite legal, and in large centres of popula- tion amount to almost 5 per cent. of the whole. The two contemplating marriage go to the registrar's, accompanied by two witnesses, who must be prepared to swear that they know the bride and bridegroom, and that one of them at least has resided for three weeks in Scotland. From this they go to the Sheriff's Cham- bers, where authority is given to have the marriage registered. This method only costs about 3cs. Such marriages are sometimes gone through again according to the rites of the church. | £ The registrar must receive 7 clear days notice prior to the granting of his certificate. A marriage must be registered within 3 days; a birth in Scotland 21 days, in England 42 days, or even 3 months without a penalty; a death in Scotland within 8 days, England 33 a child must be vaccinated within 6 months after the date of its birth in Scotland, in England 3 months. FOREIGN.—The marriage of British subjects, re- corded in the books of a British consul is legal. When one or both of the subjects are of foreign nationality and not married in the precincts of the consulate, then the law of the parties' domicile and piace of celebration usually govern the rights and form of the marriage. UNITED STATES.—Almost all that is required to constitute a legal marriage in the United States is that mutual consent be proved. In scarcely any of the States is any definite form of ceremony or pre- liminary imposed, though in Pennsylvania it requires that the marriage be gone through in the presence of at least twelve witnesses, A few of the other States provide that a license be taken out, and the marriage celebrated before a clergyman or magistrate.
