Pennsylvania couples who wish to
marry quietly in tho dtato of New York
will be interested in a quostion that ha
arisen respecting ono important point.
It appears that ia many casos couples
from othor States havo obtained licenses
in ono town or city, and then, to avoid
publicity, bavo boon married elsewhere
Attorney General Jackson holds that
this is illegal, as section 8 of the mar
riage license law providos that "It the
woman or both parties to bo married
oro non-residents of the State, such li
cense ohall bo obtatnod from tho clork
or tho town or city in which tho mar
rlugo is to bo pcrlormod." On tho nthor
hand, donntor C bb, by whom tho law
was framed, declares that tho license
authorizes murriogo nnywhero in tho
Htato. Tho Attorney General, however,
has published a warniDe to clergymen
and ethers authorized to pirforra the
marriagocorcniuny, ngainst performing
it under it liconsu issued in another town
or city, ns 111 his opinion this would be
a misdemeanor on their part.
