This certificate is issued by registrars on receiving notice of the intended marriage.
Well, was it strange that she should accept the proffered settlement in preference to her bearing her disgrace alone? It was arranged there and then that on the following Sunday the banns should be read for the first, second and third time, and that Anders should go home to his own village for two months. The Baron looked at her baby with a strange feeling of envy. He was a big, strong boy.
"Poor fellow!" said he, starting upon his legs; "what a burst you've made of it!" So saying, he began in a nasal twang, "I publish the banns of marriage between Charles O'Malley, late of his Majesty's 14th Dragoons, and Dalrymple, spinster, of this city " "I'll be hanged if you do, though," said I, seeing pretty clearly, by this time, something of the estimation my friends were held in.
Hall getting behind Mr. Hayes on a pillion, and all the children of the parsonage giggling behind the window-blinds to see the pair go off. During this month Mr. Hayes had caused the banns to be published at the town of Worcester; judging rightly that in a great town they would cause no such remark as in a solitary village, and thither he conducted his lady.
I'll throw you in a working model of a old woman that was married to the old Cheap Jack so long ago that upon my word and honour it took place in Noah's Ark, before the Unicorn could get in to forbid the banns by blowing a tune upon his horn.

After that you can look him in the face, and so can I. Our concealments will matter nothing." Mrs. Yeobright moved her head in thoughtful assent, and presently said, "Do you wish me to give you away? I am willing to undertake that, you know, if you wish, as I was last time. After once forbidding the banns I think I can do no less."
He gave her a little book called "Ornaments of Sion;" Mr. Pemberton applauded his courtship; Mrs. Armitage said that Mrs. Tilley had been a great blessing to them; the banns were published; and the Judge's third wooing ended in a marriage on October 24th.
Yes, it is true that you are sixty, but you are strong and your heart is still young. It is not as if you were an old man." Arthur and Brenda looked acutely self-conscious. Brenda blushed and seemed inclined to giggle. Arthur's face was set in the stern lines of one who hears his own banns called in church. Banks leaned back in his chair and stared apprehensively at his wife.
The banns of marriage had to be read three times, as in our days; with this difference, that they were commonly read on week-days, and the young couple easily persuaded the cure to do the three readings in twenty-four hours: he was new to the place, and their looks spoke volumes in their favour.
