CHINESE MARRIAGES.

QUESTION OF REGIS TRATION.

Christian Chinose in the Straits Settlements have of luto boen seriously considering the question of the udvisability or otherwise of registration of marriages. A loonl papor thus reports the debate :— Members of the Chinese Christian Association and their friends mot in the society's hall to discuss the motion That thig house consi- ders that legislation providing for the official registration of Chinese marriages in the Colony will be advantageons to the Chinese com- munity

Mr. Tan Yew Ohny oponed the discussion, drawing attention to the trouble, worry and honvy ox-

pense over the claims by illegiti- mate and adopted children on the death of a Chinese towkay, intest nte, nad quoted several recent, in- stances of protruofed litigation in this connection. Allthis would be avoided in future if there was official registration. He pointed to the legislation now in forca applying to Christians, Moliam- modaus und Hindus..

Mr., Kiong Chin Eng, who opposed the motion, said that registration was impracticable and if introduced would load to general dissatisfaction among the Chinose community becauso tho different sections of Chinese there obuorvo quite different ceremonies at a marriage, while legislation would compel all Chinese to obsorvo only certain formalities MANILA,

which, according to certain {CENU & ILOILO 20th Apr., 4 r.. Chinese opinion, would not consti- tute a valid marriage. Would re- MANILA, SATURDAY, (CEBU & ILOILO 20th Apr., 4...gistration improve the prosent position of affaire, when courts there have grapted joint ad-

have recognised the claims of children by secondary 'wives?

There were elevon other speak- ers on the motion, two of whom suggested tlaat en association be formed, similar to the Chineso societios in Netherlands India, in which regulations would be made for registration of marringes of the members in the first in- stance and of non-members later on who might apply to invo their marriages registered by tho association.

The Chairman, in summing up,, said that legislation dealing with – registration of Chinese marriages, divorco and adoptions was bo lieved by the Government to be. needed, hence, the introduction in 1004 of a Bill to that offect, but it was solved, as the general Chinese fooling was against it. But times are changing, and the Government would bring in this bill again if it was asked for. Ho, mention ed the question of the Hon. E. O. Ellis in the Legislative Council on the subject of Chinese intes- tates' estates. The present state of affairs in this connection is clinotic, and not only large sums of money are spent in litigation but a good deal of valuable time of the Court is wasted when such matters como up for decision. Re On the motion being put to the vote, Mr. Yew Chay won with large majority.
