AN interesting and important mar
riage contract decision was recently
rendered in Indiana by Judge Chap
man, of the Criminal Court, which
gives an exposition of the law of
that State, relating to the forms and
ceremonies necessary to constitute a
valid marriage under the statute
The case was that of J. Il. Buell. and
Susan Gilbert, who had, in the pres
cnce of witness, but without the
aid of a clergyman or magistrate Ia
ken the solemn VOWS as husband and
wife, with a mutual agreement that
the union should last only so long as
the "love-natures' Of the parties
blended IN harmony, in which the
Grand Jury found an Indictment with
a view to the abatement Of what was
regarded as al odious public scandal.
The decision, however, squelches the
Indictment, and holds that the parties,
are completely and lawfully welded
and that they must SO remain until
regularly divorced, their agreement
as to the duration of "love-nature" be-
ing in law void and in morals vic
jous.
