52 G. 3, C. 21.

WHEREAS by an Act, made and passed in the fifty-second year of His Majesty's Reign, intituled "An Act more effectually to provide for the public Registering of all Marriages solemnized within this Province, it is enacted as follows, viz.: "That from and after the first day of May next, all Marriages shall be solemnized in the presence of two or more credible witnesses, besides the Minister or person who shall celebrate the same; and that immediately after the celebration of every Marriage, a certificate thereof shall be made, in which it shall be expressed that the said Marriage was celebrated by banns or licence, and if both, or either of the parties named by licence, be under age, with consent of parents or guardians, as the case may be, and shall be signed by the said Minister or other person so celebrating the same, with his proper hand, and also by the parties named, and attested by such two witnesses," which certificate is in and by the said in part recited Act, to be transmitted, within two months, to the Clerk of the Peace of the County in which such Marriage shall be solemnized, under a certain penalty therein named: And whereas it has in several instances happened that persons solemnizing Marriage, have been prevented from transmitting the Certificates of Marriages by them celebrated, in consequence of the refusal of the persons married to sign the Certificate of Marriage; for remedy whereof,

Every person who shall be married shall immediately sign the Certificate under penalty of £20.

Be it enacted by the President, Council, and Assembly, That every person who shall hereafter be married, shall, immediately after the celebration of the Marriage ceremony, sign the Certificate prescribed in and by the said in part recited Act, as therein and thereby prescribed under the penalty of twenty pounds, for the use of His Majesty, to be recovered, with costs of suit, by bill, plaint, or information, in the Supreme Court of Judicature.
