The attorney general has given his opinión that parties residing otftside of Michigan can be married legally in our state, notwitatanding the last marriage law which requires a Hcense from the clerk of the county in which one of the contracting parties lives. He admite that when both parties are non-residents, no county clerk in Michigan can issue a license, but says that a magistrate or clergyman would not be Hable under the law if he should perform the ceremony in such cases without a license. " E. B. P." who will be recognized as Justice Pond, of Ann Arbor, writes to the Free Press, taking issue with the attorney general, and he supports his position with skill. The law may be a faulty one ; but it does seem to prohibit any raarriage in this etate for which a license has not been obtained, and magistrates and clergymen woulJ do well to act accordingly.
