Poultney v. Fair-Haven

1 Brayt. 185

Opinion

By the Court.

Asenath being prima facie the wife of John Slyter, it was necessary a previous legal marriage should be proved to shew she was not his legal wife — cohabitation with Austin, though sufficient to charge him, was not proper evidence to disprove her the wife of Slyter.

The Court confirmed the decisions of the Judge, and the motion for a new trial was dismissed.
