§ LORD WRENBURYMy Lords, I move the Amendments which stand in my name. They are only two. The first—in Clause 6—is to give effect to the alterations in the settlement consequent upon the divorce; and the second is the usual Amendment to strike out that clause in the Bill—Clause 7—which forbids the intermarriage of the guilty parties.
