the Authority of a person - forbidding the issue of a certificate is disputed

And by adding a section suspending the operation of

the Ordinance.

In addition to these Amendments, the Council has altered the form of certificate of marriage to make it accord with the printed books I sent out from England.

The Council has also struck out from Section XXII the words "Ministers may receive the fees ordinarily paid for the celebration of marriage" in order to avoid any appearance of changing these voluntary offerings into obligatory payments.

As the Ordinance has already been twice submitted to the Secretary of State a more lengthy report will not, I presume, be now required.
