§ SIR BARRINGTON SIMEON (Southampton)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, whether the Bill for legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, passed by the Jersey Legislature on 19th March last, and subsequently forwarded to the Committee of the Privy Council, has received the Royal Assent; and whether, if not yet submitted for the sanction of the Queen in Council, Her Majesty's Advisers propose to recommend in the case of this Bill the policy uniformly pursued in relation to similar Measures received from the Colonies?
§ SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEYThe Act in question has not been confirmed by Her Majesty, but is at present under the consideration of Her Majesty's advisers.
