MARRIAGE WITH DECEASED WIVES SISTERS.
The peb|)le;who want to ■’ marry their .sisters-in-daw, the Home News tells us, can .stand it no longer. . They have colonial practice with th.epithey. > the Queen with them, and all the- royal family. They have the Archbishop of Canterbury with them. With them, alsc, are the leaders of both Houses of the'Legislature. The House ..of Commons. has repeatedly passed their Bill ; yet sisters-in-law still remain sisters-in-law, and are incapable of conversion into wives/ It is intolerable. -So othe brothers-in-law are called upon to‘ rise in their strength next month, arid by a 5 monster meeting demonstrate against' the monstrosity. It 'is “father' 'difficult to believe that the fierce democracy of the Great City will rise with a growl for the purpose of legalising matches between widowers and their deceased wives’ sisters ; but certainly the case of the marriage reformers is very hard, i They have expected to pass their measure any time this twelve years, and at the end of every session they find themselves where they were.
