  July 27. LORD MERRIMAN P., having stated the facts, continued: The question is whether or not this ceremony, although the parties undoubtedly thought it was not fully effective, did effect a valid marriage. That it did not conform with the Foreign Marriage Act is made quite clear indeed there is no dispute about it — by a Foreign Office Certificate dated June 4, 1945, under the hand of the late Prime Minister and under the seal of the Foreign Office duly put in before me. It was suggested that I might have to consider whether the marriage conformed to the
