named Edie had been married to him
in l84T, when both were slaves Of the
same master. The ceremony was per-
formed by a colored minister, with
the consent Of the master. The two
lived together as husband aud wife
till the fall Of 1866. At that time
the husband, being then, of course, .
freedman, took out a license ANT
married another woman, with whon
he lived till his death. Under these
circumstances the Court was called
upon TO decide which OF the two
had been the lawful wife. IL h,s
