35/37 Report, pages XIX., XX .-- Legal provision for the sale of horses and dogs. No legal provision for the marriage of men and women. Report, page XXX .-- Conclusion of the Commissioners. In spite of the arguments advanced before them in favor of not interfering with Irregular Marriages in Scotland, the Commissioners declare their opinion that "Such marriages ought not to continue." (Report, page XXXIV.)
