MARRIAGE WITH DECEASED WIFE’S SISTER.
London, June 20. Four hundred members of the House of Commons have memorialised Sir H. C. Bannerman, asking him to give time for the completion of the report and third reading stages of the Bill legalising marriage with a deceased wife’s sister. Attempts have been made from time to time during the past halfcentury and more to carry legislation legalising marriage with a deceased wife’s sister. Generally, the House of Commons has passed the measure, but the Lords have rejected it. A Bill to make such marriages contracted in the colonies valid also in England became law last year.
