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

Registrar-General's Office,
Wellington, 19th November, 1896.

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 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.

A Minister of religion not connected with any of the afore-
said bodies must send to the Registrar-General in the month
of December in each year a certificate 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 declaration 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.
