This method of solemnizing marriages, commen- 

 ced on the 15th day of Dec. 1653, and continued 

 until the 27th day of April, 1658; it might have 

 continued longer, but there is no further recprd ia 

 our registers. Amongst the names of the Justices 

 of Peace who were present at the ceremony of mar- 

 riages, are, Luke Robinson, as aforesaid, whose 

 name most frequently occurs, Christopher Percehay, 



George Marwood, Aylmere, Benjamin Nor- 



cliffe, and Richard Etherington, Esqrs. It does 

 not appear, however, that a Justice of the Peace 

 always presided at the ceremony ; for there is one 

 instance ofits having been performed in the presence 

 of John Welbury, chief constable of Langbaurghe, 

 and in another instance, neither a Justice of the 

 Peace, nor a chief constable were personally present*
