The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 87

J. P. Plumptre, Esq., M.P

J. P. Plumptre, Esq., M.P.

"I have an amendment to move to the second clause; it is, 'That there be excepted from the operation of the Bill cases of marriage with the sister of a deceased wife where there is a child or children under 12 years of age.' There can be no doubt that there are many cases in which it may be of essential importance both to the father and the children that such a marriage should be permitted."—Speech of J. P. Plumptre, Esq., M.P., 1835.
