§ 34. Mr. KINGasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that a marriage was celebrated at the church of St. Mary Major, Exeter, on Saturday, 28th of June, by the Bishop of Marlborough, that the ceremony commenced after three o'clock, and that there is no provision in the Marriage Acts to warrant such a proceeding; and whether a Provisional Order will be introduced to make this marriage legal and binding?
§ Mr. McKENNAI have made inquiry, and am informed that the marriage ceremony in question was begun before 3 p.m. I have no authority to decide whether any marriage is valid or otherwise. In any case invalidity can be remedied, either by the remarriage of the parties or by a Provisional Order.
