GEROCK, GUARDIAN OF •GERoCK (FALSELET CELLED
JOIIRS) 0 JONRS.
This was a snit tot a nullity of marriage, by rea-
son of minority_ and want of consent, brought by
Christopher Gerock, seardian of Ella. C. Geretkv
against Charles Jonet:'
The marriage took place between' the parties ou
the Ist of July, 1817. It appeared that Miss Gerock
was born. on the 2.7 d of Feb. 1800. The want of
consent on the fart of the father was proved
by several witnesses, one'of whom communicated the
fact to Mr. Gerock, who appeared very mach hart
pod agitated by the intelligence. lie immediately
ilistnissgd-Junes from his'lervice, anti took steps to
set aside the marriage. An objection was taken by
Mr. Jones% Counsel to the proof of the identity of
Miss Gerock at the time of the marriage, and also
to the evidence of Mrs. Gerock-, she beimig the wife
of the. party promoting the suit.
Sir W. Scorr was of opinion that all the facts
`pleaded had been fully proved ; that it was clear that
Miss Gerock was little more than 17 when the mar-
riage took place, and that it was solemnized without
the knowledge, and, therefore, without the consent',
of her natural pennon : that the identity of the-party
was spoken to by a person who' was present'llt the
marriage, and was admitted by Jon,. to one of the
witnesses : that the evidence of the mother wak ne-
cessary in suits of this nature, to do away all suspi-
cion of collusion : that the marriage mast, therefore,
be declared null and void.
IRELAwNEy V. TRELAWNEY.

This was a suit for divorce, by reason of adul-
tery, brought by Jettr Trete wney ' against Ca
Trelawney his wife. •
Sir W. SCOTT stated, that the marriage took place
on the 17th of May, 1813,,and that the parties cobs.,
hired together until the year 1816, when Mrs. Thi.:
la wney took lodgings at the house of Mgt. Proat,'et
Bristol. Capt. Coleman came to lodge in' the sestet,
house, and an intimacy took place between him end
Mrs. T,elsiviley. She was in the habit of going into
his bed-room when her husband supposed that she
was gone fora walk. She was seen by Mrs. Prout
in indecent situations, sod, at last, in the very act
of adultery with (•apt. Coleman. A note was also
intercepted, containing a direct acknowledgment of
the fact. Mrs. Addision, the molter of Mrs. Tre-
lawney, comes to etriostolate with her on her mis-
conduct, and she is recognised as the wife of Mr.
Trelawney tby the verdict of the Jury. Neither
does any criminal connivance sttach to the husband,
who has pursued the prrper conduct on• the occasion.
Ho is, therefore, entitled to the remedy which he
PO's.
