where one or both of the parties is or are a citizen or citizens
of the State of Maryland.

WHEREAS, Many citizens of Maryland are married outside the
State of Maryland, and whereas it often becomes important
for pedigree and statistical purposes ami for the perpetua-

should be kept and preserved in Maryland; therefore,

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Mary-
land, That the clerk of the Court of Common Pleas of Balti-
more City and the clerks of the Circuit Courts of the several
counties having charge of the issuing of marriage licenses and
the recording of marriages in this State, as prescribed by exist-

cates of marriage issued by clergymen or by officials solemniz-

were or are citizens of this State and where the marriage was
contracted in some other state, territory, District of Columbia
or foreign country wherever the same are presented to said
clerks for record.

And said clerks shall issue when requested so to do, certifi-
cates of such records under the seal of the court where so
recorded, as is now customary in the case of marriages con-
tracted in this State, and shall have power to charge the usual
