Exction xxiii. of Ordinance No. 1 of 1852

"Nothing herein contained shall be held to invalidate or affect any marriage which may be solemnized in the Colony by persons in Holy Orders, or the right of any officiating Minister to receive the usual Fees now usually paid for the registration of any Marriage."

I submit that the foregoing clause legalizes, by inference at least, the Marriage Fee which is usually paid to the Colonial Chaplain for the performance and registration of Marriage.

And it is, I believe, due of common right, according to English law, to a clergyman for solemnizing a Marriage.
