I beg to move, "That the Debate be now adjourned."

I did not realise that a Bill of this nature was going to be brought on to-night. I have given the best attention to the explanation of the hon. Member and, frankly, I have some difficulty in understanding him. The validity of marriages is always a difficult question, and it is rather a pity to let the Bill go through without anybody in the House understanding it. As very considerable progress has been made with the other Bill to-night, I submit to the Government that it will be better if the Bill were brought up on some other occasion and explained by somebody who understands more about it.
