The Right Rev. the Bishop of Worcester.

(Dr. Philpott.)

"Many years ago I examined, as I thought, fully, the question of marriage with a deceased wife's sister; and I came to a clear conclusion that there is no sufficient force in the objections which are commonly urged against such marriages. I have never seen cause to change my opinion, and I should be glad to see the law repealed which now prohibits such marriages."—Extract of a letter from the Eight Rev. the Bishop of Worcester.
