WHEREAS by Section 21 of the Foreign Marriage Act, 1892, (a) His Majesty The King in Council is empowered to make Regulations modifying in special cases or classes of cases the requirements of the said Act as to residence and notice, so far as such modifications appear to His Majesty to be con- sistent with the observance of due precautions against clandes- tine marriages, making such provisions as seem necessary or proper for carrying into effect the said Act or any Marriage Regulations, varying and revoking any Marriage Regulations and for the other purposes therein specified :
AND WHEREAS by the Foreign Marriages Orders in Council 1913 (b) and 1925 (c) Marriage Regulations were made accord- ingly making inter alia such modifications as seemed necessary in the requirements of the said Act as to residence and notice in cases where both parties have not dwelt within the district of the marriage officer by or before whom the intended marriage is to be solemnised:

AND WHEREAS the provisions of Section 1 of the Rules Publication Act, 1893, (d) have been complied with in respect of the regulations hereinafter set forth :
