Session Laws

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 section thirty-nine, the solemnization of a marriage by the Honorable John E. Fenton, Jr. who is a judge of the land court in the commonwealth, in the town of North Andover on June twenty-seventh, nineteen hundred and eighty-seven between Paula Mary Elias of the town of North Andover and Herbert Elmore Boles Ross III of the city of Northampton and the state secretary shall issue to said Honorable John E. Fenton, Jr. in his capacity as aforesaid a certificate of such authorization.
