MARRIAGE LAW (IRELAND) AMENDMENT ACT 1863 - SECT 12

Registration of places of public worship on application of trustee, &c.

12. Any trustee or owner of a separate building (not being a church or chapel
belonging to the United Church of England and Ireland) used as a place of
public worship by any church, denomination, or body of Protestant Christians,
or any officiating minister of any such place of public worship, may certify
in writing, signed by him, to the Registrar General, that such building is so
used, and shall at the same time deliver to the Registrar General a
certificate signed by ten householders at the least that such building [is
being used by them] as their usual place of public worship, and that they are
desirous that such place should be registered; and such trustee, owner, or
minister shall countersign such certificate. On the receipt of such
certificates the Registrar General shall register such place of public worship
in the general registry office, and shall send a certificate of such
registration to the person certifying, and to the registrar of the district in
which such place of public worship shall be situated, who shall keep the same
with the other records of his office; the Registrar General shall also give
public notice of such registration by advertisement in the [Belfast Gazette],
and in a newspaper circulating in the county where the place of public worship
is situate. For every such entry, certificate, and publication the Registrar
General shall receive, at the time of delivery to him of the certificates,
[the prescribed fee].
