produced to such... Registrar of Marriages purporting to be signed by some
registering officer of the said Society of Friends... in Ireland... to the

such party (as the case may be), is authorised thereto under or in pursuance
of some general rule or rules of the said Society in ... Ireland..., and such
certificate shall be for all purposes conclusive evidence that the party by
