by Section 38 "marriages between persons neither of whom professes the Christian religion duly

celebrated according to the personal law and

religion of the parties" were excepted. The

marriage in the present oase, being celebrated

according to Mahometan rites, comes within this

exception, and, the original marriage papera

having been lost, there seems to be no means of

proving the marriage except by statutory declarations

made by persons present at the ceremony. A joint

declaration was made at this Consulate-General

on 6th. September, 1989, by four witnesses,

a certified oopy is enclosed herewith.

I have no reason to suppose that the a tatement s

contained in these declarations are other than

correct, and I venture, therefore, to submit this

application for your favourable consideration.

I have the honour to be,

With the highest respect,

sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

(Signed) J.F. BRENAN.

Consul-General.
