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, or any other general or special law to the contrary, 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, who is a judge of the land court in the commonwealth in the city of Boston on October twentieth, nineteen hundred and ninety between Dorothy N. Stevens and Chester F. Collier both of the city of Boston, and the state secretary shall issue to said Honorable John E. Fenton in his capacity as aforesaid a certificate of such authorization.
