MARRIAGE LAWS.
PRIVY COUNCIL DECISION IN QUEBEC, CASE. <
(Received July 81, 0.15 a.m.) LONDON, July 30. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has decided that the Dominion Bill legalising all Canadian marriages solemnised by authorised clergymen under the laws of the provinces is ultra vires. The Quebec Provincial Government’s contention that such Federal Bill is inapplicable to that province, inasmuch as the marriage laws* are exclusively under provincial jurisdiction, is thus sustained.
