And that such a written appointment, was better than an appointment made under Seal and with other formalities executed by the Gallaway’s Constituted Attorney.

I said, Gallaway could not on a divorce by the Ecclesiastical Court have a divorce by Act of Parliament, but that I had heard that in Scotland, the Law would permit him to marry again. Chambers
