Daneorti-i, J.

This case does not come within § 20, art. 1, of the constitution, providing for a trial by jury. The practice has been otherwise. Nor is there any statute authorizing it. On the other hand, the statute provides that " the Court shall decree it (the marriage) annulled or affirmed according to the proof.” E. S., c. 60, § 14.

The case to stand for trial by the Court.
