Dr. SwAnT raid, that the libel which he sow
prayed to he admitted was • libel in prertem, the
pert) against whom ha appeared being actually in
contempt, having been some time out of England,
and solseqeently joined, as he believed, the loser-
gents in South America. The marriage, be should
contend, ought to hare been had according to the
rites of the country where it was celebrated, so as
these sere no impediments to such celebration, and
the parties had been duly domiciled. lie should sub-
mit that they had been so domicile*, sod that the
ceremony should have followed the custom of Fraser,
in which country marriage, by the existing law, is a
civil rite. There was a casein point, decided in thel
Archer' Court, in 1794, Middleton and Combs's:
one of these parties was a minor ; they were resident
at St. Omer, end were married at Finns ; and a suit,
arising out of similar circumstances. was brought (or
nullity of marriage. Sir William Wynn, in his res-
ume', observed, that if it was good according t• the
rites followed there, it was good Isere ; bet, if it was
not good according to those riles, and in that place,
it was not good elsewhere. The Learraesl Counsel
trusted, ender these circumstance., that the Court
would hold that they were able to enforce the up.
',forint* of the party, and admitting the libel, would
permit them to go on to proof, and decree the party
to give such appearance.
Sir W. SCOTT said, that the Loomed Counsel
would find great diffieeity in Marcia( him to determine
this cam at once, in the absence of the putty. " A
great many such marriages had taken place in France
recently. and he could not be expected, by such a
.cep, to decide that all of thews were null and void."
lie should admit the libel, however, for the par.
pose of compell.ng the appearance. Several Clergy.
men of the Church of Eogland had sent to him a
great number a letter', spry imperfectly addressed,
on the subject of marrisse4, contracted like Ilse one
in question, during the residence of the Amy of
O. collation in France. The Court was aware of the
&Smutty of these cases, which were grave and re-
lions. end hoped that this admission would cause at
a marsnce.

which admitted of no doubt; the icttlirelars of which
it is •nneeesaary to recspitulete. A verdict was
gained by Major W at Common Law; end
the mileeatinn in question went generally to deny the
facts pleaded in the libel, given in on his behalf. sill
to explain some particular points upon which the
proof of the adultery was founded. It appeared
that the party preventing the snit had failed to pro-
date and examlim one very material witness; and in
consequence of the Counsel for the lady expressing
their wish to minims that witness also •polo their
