'required previous to the publication of baaaas . —* -The registrar is to copy the notice into a book , which i& to be open to the ptdblie for examination , without any fee , ami to give a certificate to the party signing the notice of its receipt upon the payment of one shilling . The marriage may be then solemnized after the expiration of twenty-one days ( or , in the ca $£ of licence , of seven days ) and within three months of the
date of such certificate . There is then introduced a mode of preventing clandestine marriages by means of caveats , which may be lodged with the registrar by the parents or guardians of any parties , against the issue of a certificate to them ; which wiU n *> t then be done , until after notice has been sent , through the post-office to the party filing the caveat , of the application for a certificate : or a caveat may be filed with the superintendent
