The following are the Religious Bodies above

vided by the forty-second section of "The Marriage Act,
1854," and the second section of "The Marriage
Act Amendment Act, 1868," as follows:---
Sec. 42, Marriage Act, 1854.-" Provided always
that any Minister of Religion not connected
with any of the bodies enumerated in the afore-
said Schedule to this Act annexed, who shall
present to any Registrar a certificate signed
by twenty-four householders resident in the
district for which such Registrar shall be ap-
pointed, declaring that such Minister is their
Officiating Minister, shall be entitled to have
his name inserted in the list of Officiating
Ministers in the meaning of this Act: Provided
always that such certificate shall be attested by
two Justices of the Peace, and such attested
certificate shall be sent in to the Registrar-
General or other Officer as aforesaid anew in
the month of December in every year; and
no such attested certificate presented to any
Registrar by any Minister as aforesaid shall
continue in force unless renewed in like
manner."

The provision printed in italics in the foregoing
extract has been amended as follows:---
*Sec. 2, Marriage Act Amendment Act, 1868.-" So
much of the forty-second section of "The
Marriage Act, 1854," as provides that the
certificate in the said section referred to shall
be attested by two Justices of the Peace is
hereby repealed, and in lieu thereof it is
enacted that the signatures to any such cer-
tificate referred to in the said section of the
said Act shall be attested by some person who
shall verify the same by solemn declaration
before a Justice of the Peace in the form set
forth in the Schedule hereto, and appended to
such certificate, and signed by such person;
and if any person shall make any such
declaration falsely, he shall be guilty of a
misdemeanour."
