§ MR. SALTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, since it has often been found necessary to introduce Bills similar to a recent Act entitled the Tiverton and Cove Chapels Act, in order to give validity to marriages that may be technically irregular, he will introduce a general Bill for the improvement of the Marriage Law?
MR. BRUCE,in reply, said, he must acknowledge the inconvenience of passing a series of Acts to correct irregularities, but he could not undertake on the part of the Government to deal during the present Session with so large and important a Question.
