Under the English rule marriage acts of 1823, still in force, legal marriages can be contracted only between 8 am. and 3 pm. At a recent West Surrey wedding, the clergyman did not arrive until nearly 4 o'clock. He hurried through and assured the couple thaf it was all right, as they had been mar- ried before 3. p.m., sun time. One official of the court of facul-| ties has held that since daylight saving time has been made a law, everything is affected by the altera- |tion. Proponents of the clergyman’s view point out that when the 1823 law was passed there was no such thing as daylight saving, hence the intent of the early law has been served. tor O. A, Stillman.
