On the 3rd of October 1768, Invariable Disunion was 
held to be good cause for a separation between man and 
wife (p. 180). In 1776, a case arose where it was 
desirable to publish the Banns of Marriage three times in 
one day. The Colonial Court granted the application 
on the 20th May, and the parties were married (pp. 188 to 
200). The matter was reported to the Council of Ten 
at Amsterdam, who approved of what had been done, 
and they sent out a Resolution as to publishing three 
Banns in one day in special cases. On the 3rd and 5th 
of June 1790, the Governor and Court of Policy resolved 
that no persons should be allowed to marry out of Church 
unless they paid the colony 100 guilders. (L. G. No. 7).

Van Bercheych made an application to the Court of 
Policy of Essequibo that an error made in passing a 
certain Transport should be rectified. The application 
was granted. On the 4th of July 1772, a Resolution of 
the Court of Policy was passed with regard to Fees for

(p. 171). In the Court of Policy on the 19th of 0£tober 
1778, there was a discussion upon Transports and Mort- 
gages (pp. 10 1, 106). It was not until the British 
Occupation, that it became requisite to advertise Trans- 
ports and Mortgages intended to be passed. This was 
done by an order of the Court of Justice, dated 7th May,
