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

Registrar-General's Office,
Wellington, 22nd November, 1894.

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, in the month of December in every year,
a correct list 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 any Minister of Religion not connected
with any of the aforesaid bodies, it is necessary that a
certificate be sent to the Registrar-General in the month of
December in each year.
Such certificate is to be signed—
(a.) By the recognised head in New Zealand of the
religious body to which he ministers, or
(b.) By two duly-recognised ministers of such religious
body, or
(c.) By ten adult members thereof, who shall append
to their signatures their description as being
such members, declaring that such Minister is
their Officiating Minister, the said signatures
being attested by some person who shall verify
them as the genuine signatures of the persons
whose they purport to be by a solemn declara-
tion made under "The Justices of the Peace
Act, 1882," signed by such person and appended
to the certificate.
Neglect in sending the certificate will deprive the Minister
of his status as an Officiating Minister under the Marriage
Act.
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.
E. J. VON DADELSZEN,
Registrar-General.
