§
SIR WILLIAM DUNBAR moved for leave to bring in a Bill.
To amend two Acts of the seventeenth and eighteenth years, and of the eighteenth year, of Her present Majesty, relating to the Registration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages in Scotland, and also an Act of the nineteenth and twentieth years of the same reign, relating to the Law of Marriage in Scotland.
After stating the provisions of the Acts of 1854 and 1855, the hon. Gentleman said that time and experience had developed deficiencies and suggested improvements in those measures, and hence the necessity for the present Bill. As the measure was one entirely of detail he would defer any further explanation until the Bill was in the hands of Members.
§ Leave given;
§ Bill ordered to be brought in by Sir WILLIAM DUNBAR, Sir GEORGE LEWIS, and the LORD ADVOCATE.
§ Bill presented and read 1°.
§ House adjourned at a Quarter after Five o'clock.
