Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately authorize the solemnization of a certain marriage, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives
in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same,
as follows:
Notwithstanding the provisions of section thirty-nine of chapter two hundred and seven of the General Laws, the state secretary may authorize in the manner set forth under said chapter thirty-nine, the solemnization of a marriage by David C. Engel, as he is a Justice of the Peace in Greenland, New Hampshire, in the town of Northampton on August sixteenth, nineteen hundred and eighty-six between Kathleen Christie Engel of said town of Greenland and James Rebitzer of the city of Austin, Texas, and the state secretary shall issue to said David C. Engel in his capacity as aforesaid a certificate of such authorization.
