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

Registrar-General's Office,
Wellington, 3rd December, 1878.

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," requir-
ing the several ecclesiastical authorities as aforesaid
to send in to the Registrar-General a correct 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.

In default of any person having ecclesiastical
authority over any of the religious bodies named
above, the name of the Officiating Minister of any
congregation of such religious body may be certified
to by two recognized office-holders thereof.

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 certi-
ficate being attested by some person, verified by a
declaration before 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.
