There is one feature of the Native X,and Act which came into operation on April Ist, which is of general interest. One provision is that every marriage between a Native and a European must : be celebrated in the same manner as if each of the parties was a European. Also, a marriage between two Natives may, at the option of the parties, be celebrated either in the same manner as if each of the parties was a European; or in the presence of an officiating minister under the Marriage Act, but without complying with the other requirements of the Act. Marriages between Natives will be governed.by the same rules in regard to consanguinity as marriage between Europeans.
