Notice to Persons in whom is vested Ecclesiastical
Authority over Religious Bodies.

Registrar-General's Office,
Wellington, 22nd November, 1876.

THE attention of the persons or person within the
Colony of New Zealand in whom is vested
ecclesiastical authority over any of the religious
bodies enumerated in the Schedule annexed to an
Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand
intituled "The Marriage Act Amendment Act, 1876,"
and of all other persons concerned, is directed to the
forty-fourth section of "The Marriage Act, 1854,"
requiring the several ecclesiastical authorities as
aforesaid to send in to the Registrar-General a cor-
rect list, in the month of December in every year, of
the Officiating Ministers within the meaning of "The
Marriage Act, 1854," of each of the said religious
bodies.

The following are the religious bodies above re-
ferred to :-

The Church of the Province of New Zealand,
commonly called the Church of England.

The Presbyterian Church of New Zealand.
The Roman Catholic Church.
The Presbyterian Church of Otago and South-
land.
The Wesleyan Methodist Society.
All Congregational Independents.
Baptists.
The Primitive Methodist Connection.
The United Methodist Free Churches.
The Lutheran Church.
All Hebrew Congregations.
The Society of Friends.

With respect to Ministers of Religion not con-
nected with any of the aforesaid bodies, it is neces-
sary that a certificate signed by twenty-four house-
holders resident in the district, declaring that such
Minister is their Officiating Minister, the said cer-
tificate being attested by a Justice of the Peace
shall be sent to the Registrar-General in the month
of December in each year. The neglect in sending
such last-named certificate will deprive the Minister
of his status as an Officiating Minister under the
Marriage Acts.

WM. R. E. BROWN,
Registrar-General.

N.B. It is requested that the Christian names
and the addresses of the several Ministers may be
specified in the lists sent in to the Registrar-General.
