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

Registrar-General's Office,
Wellington, 1st December, 1880.

THE attention of the persons or person within the
ecclesiastical authority over any of the religious
bodies enumerated in the Schedule B annexed to an
Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand in-
tituled "The Marriage Act, 1880," and of all other
persons concerned, is directed to the eleventh section
of the above-mentioned Act, requiring 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, 1880,"
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 Presbyterian Church of Otago and South-
land.
The Roman Catholic Church.
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 De-
cember 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
Act.

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.
