The VIM Ness Case.

CIRCUIT CossT WARRINGTON, Dec. p, 1910.
THE PRELIMINARY rLEApINGs
Mr.. BRADLEY concluded his argument this morning,
upon the instructions which he prayed Yesterday the
Court should submit to the jury ;ubsan,iay that
admit the whole Of the evidence for the plaintiff still
there is not sufficient proof to establish valid marriage
Ann Wallace Conner the plaintiff in this cause.
Mr.. May replied to the plea Of MIR. Bradley Among
hearing, was the case Of Honeyman vs. Honeyman, in
Scotland In this case the woman was governess in the
family OF Scotch baronet whose son seduced her. and
with whom she consorted for number Of years. from
which commerce several children were born. The
man was barbarously treated and appealed to the laws
for confirmation of her coniuga rights At the trial. in
all the correspondence between the parties distinct
promise or acknowledgment Of marimony was discover
written over an erasure and from this umstance it
was ruled out And yet the Scotch court declared a
and hey sustained the scottish decision in favor Of the
woman. Mr. May read largely from the opinion Of the
Chancellor, in exposition Of the law Of marriage Of
biaton and the birth Of child constituted marriage in
Scotland and that promise could be established by cir
cumstances
Mir. BRApLKY.-That is the law of Scotland.
Mr.. MAv-Yes, sir, that is the law.
Mr. BRApLEy.-But is it the law Of Pennsy lvania
Mr.MAy.-ics sir we shall show you that the case
will apply.
MIR. BRApLxY.l should think that would be suit for
damages for breach of promise in Pennsylvania.
Mr. BRESr.-They have the same process in Scotland
for damages.
Mr. MAY resumed and continued his argument in sup.
port Of the assumption that the proofs presented in
half Of the plaintiff in this cause, support OF her de
clared marriage with the late General Van Meas ad
mtted will establish her claim as tho legal widow and
of the deceased He quoted various
and applied to them the circumstances attending the visit
Of General Van Ness and the plaintiff Philadelphia II
July lss5 and the subsequent circumstances In Angus
Of the departure Of the General and the plaintiff from
Mrs Morlders, with the express declaration by boti
parties that they were going out TO get married. Mr.
May, concluding his argument said that cOmpeten
marriage could be established first, by the circum
stances proving the actual celebration of marriage
secondly, they had sufficient evidence to prove mar
rage per Verba de future from actual promises Of
riasc thirdly, there sufficient evidence from the
mutual acknowledgements, from time to time, of the
parties.
And at this stage Of the proceedings left the oppos
ing counsel discussing some intermediate question o
