Lord PAr,MEftsTON on Ma.ebthtg a. Deceased Wipe's Sister. — Mr T. Chambers is resolved to challenge the House of Commons once again to a decision oa the question of marriage with a deceased wife's sister. The best grouud on which to settle that question with which we are acquainted is suggested by an anecdote told of the late Lord Palraerston. The Noble Lord was appealed to for an opinion on the subject ; and in reply, with his well-known chuckle, he said :— " If a man who has married once, and had the good fortune to bury his wife, is fool enough to marry again, by all means let him marry bis deceased wife's sister, as then at any rate, he will only be afflicted with one mother-in-law." — ' Globe. 1
