The legislature will be asked to pass leg- iglation legalizing them. An act pass- ed in 1820 before the Canadian con- federation was formed and while Que- bee was still the British colony of Lower Canada, provided that only clergymen who were British subjects could perform marriage ceremonies when in 1867 Quebec joined the other provinces to form the dominion, she retained her civil law intact. No civil marriages are performed in the province. Clergymen of var- fous denominations record ceremonies in civil registers provided by the gov- ernment. Since 1829 many clergy- men have come to Quebec from other countries, especially the United States to take charge of pastorates, and they officiated at marriages without re- gard to their nationality. At the end of each year they turned in their books and were given new registers. A Unitarian minister of this city, an American, recently went to the gov- ernment office to get his 1022 regis- ter, and was informed that, because of his foreign citizenship, he could not legally perform marriages in the province. The question raised by a studious clergy clerk was taken up by officials and it was then disclosed that the ancient law still was in force. Besides Americans, many Catholic priests of French citizenship have been officiating at marriage cere- monijes. Officials estimated thousands of “irregular” marriages had been performed since 1829. According to an opinion rendered by the attorney general's department, the only way to regularize the situ- ation is to introduce in the legislature a bill declaring that, notwithstanding the act of 1829, all marriages per- formed since that time by clergymen of recognized standing were to be considered legal.
