great influence over me, persuaded me
that he had been legally divorced from
his former wife, whom he married In

tied upon him securities to the value Of
$3.50. 600. Less than a year later I dis
covered that my marriage was invalid, a.
he had never been divorced from his for.
mer wife. Thereupen / secured y decree

ings are for the balance. The vice-chan'
ccllor made an order directing the de-
