§ MR. MELLOR moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Acts relating to marriages in England and Ireland, and extending certain provisions thereof to persons professing with the Society of Friends, called Quakers. The hon. and learned Gentleman said that the object of the Bill was to extend privileges hitherto enjoyed by members of the Society of Friends to persons holding the same views and desirous of being married according to their usage. When the Bill was printed and laid upon the table it would, he thought, be found to be one to which no hon. Member could have any objection.
