DANELL MORAD”

By the canons and statutes of the church of Scotland, all marriages

performed under the circumstances usually attending them at Gretna

Green, are clearly illegal; for although it may be performed by a

layman, or a person out of orders, yet, as in England, bans or license

are necessary, and those who marry parties clandestinely are subject to

heavy fine and severe imprisonment. Therefore, though Gretna Green be

just out of the limits of the English Marriage Act, that is not

sufficient, unless the forms of the Scottish church are complied with.
