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

Registrar-General’s Office,
Wellington, 23rd November, 1888.

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 B annexed to an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand intituled “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 referred 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 Southland.
The Wesleyan Methodist Society.
All Congregational Independents.
Baptists.
The Primitive Methodist Connexion.
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 recognised office-holders thereof.

With respect to Ministers of Religion not connected with any of the aforesaid bodies, it is necessary that a certificate, signed by twenty-four householders resident in the district, declaring that such Minister is their Officiating Minister, the said certificate 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 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.
