UNLAWFUL MARRIAGE.
(blood-affinity! an abuse of terms!) "all remain: but his marriage has brought him into a new affinity with the female relations of his late wife." New relations! what new relations to the female relations of his late wife? They remain unchanged. He goes on to inquire, "Do the same prohibitions pass over now upon, and include all these new relations?" When Omicron has proved that affinity to a wife's kindred is destroyed or changed by her death, he may ask this question. This he has not done, nor is he likely to do so. The prohibitions passed upon and included the kindred of the first wife, as soon as she was married; and after her decease they remain upon them, and abide on them, during their lives, and the life of her husband.
