Note 48 — SOMERVILE.
Reading edition
This year was made remarkable by the dissolution of a marriage solemnized in the face of the church. Salmon’s Review.
The following protest is registered in the books of the house of lords:
Dissentient: Because we conceive that this is the first bill of that nature that hath passed, where there was not a divorce first obtained in the spiritual court; which we look upon as an ill precedent, and may be of dangerous consequence in the future. HALIFAX. ROCHESTER.
