was Of lawful age. was restrained OF her liberty

tcc that she preferred TO rcrna II with her
father. and that she was not restrained hy him.
The Justice questioned her in private. and then
suid II was clear she was not restrained OF her
liberty,
Cjl. Robert Johnstone the petitioners atsor-
ncy. asked to have the young lady sworn. she
trcmblrd like leaf in a breeze. She identified
tho contract. and said that when she signed u
she supposed that 1t was only q promise to
marry Armstrong at some future time. She
had never lived with him rs his wife, and had
no intention 10 do SO at that time. since the
paper was signed. Armstrong hnd called her
his wife and she had called him her husband
but no one else heard them.
Armstrong swore that there was previous

the ceremony in the hallway as marriage.
She had received him as her husband since.
Justice Pratt dismissed the writ. saying that
the question raised by the DOCUMENT was an
embarrassing one. and 1t need not DO decided
on that proceeding.
The parents OF Adnh are determined that
their daughter snail not be Armstrong; wife.
Armstrong Is musician. He says that he

chose to marry her by contract because both
preferred II and knew that II was legal He
