ALBERTSON against SMYTH.
    ON CERTIORARI.
    Parol proof of marriage, good.
    The action below was brought to recover compensation for necessaries furnished the wife of the defendant below. The plaintiff offered parol testimony to prove the marriage •of the defendant; but as the marriage had been had since the passing of the marriage register act, the defendant objected to parol evidence to prove the marriage, under an idea that the register or a sworn [f] copy was the best evidence ; but the justice overruled the objection and admitted the proof, on which the plaintiff below obtained a verdict and judgment. The defendant below now brings this writ, and assigns this for error.
   By the Court.

The justice did right.

Judgment must be affirmed.
