Marriage with Deceased Wife’s Sister. —The second reading of a Bill to legalise the Marriage with a Decease I Wife’s Sister has just been carried in our Upper House, with but three dissenrients. A wry long and exhaustive speech was made in the Synod on th 3 subject by Mr Corlette, the Precentor of th • Cathedral, which was much commended for its ability and research even by those who could not adopt its arguments, and which, elicited from the Bishop a very derided statement of his disapproval of su h ninrriag-s. The matter, however, was not brought, to any practical conclusion in the Svnod,M rC rlett-r’s resolution having been withdrawn, af er this expression of the Bishop’s views tha no clergyman would be bound to solemnise s irh marriages, after the passing of the law, if he disapproved of them.—Tasmanian Church Rews.
