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 Peter Rutherford, as he is a justice of the district court in the commonwealth of Massachusetts, in the town of Belchertown on March twenty-ninth, nineteen hundred and eighty-seven between Judy E. Clarke of the town of Belchertown and Archer D. Battista of said town of Belchertown, and the state secretary shall issue to said Peter Rutherford in his capacity as aforesaid a certificate of such authorization.
