theory of the decision appealed from
that the plaintiff must have been
born early in 1875 or before the
month of June, physically impos-
sible, and renders it unlikely that she
was born at any time in the year
1875. By this circumstance, there
there, of the time of her brothers
birth, she could not by any posi-
bility have been IA years old, either
when the marriage took place, July
25th, 1888, or when they separated in
March, 1899
1t is satisfactorily proven to my
mind by preponderance of evidence
that the plaintiff was born in 1876,
probably in the month of June, and
was consequently under the age of
Ia at the time of the marriage in
July, 1888, and also at the time of the
separation in March, 1889, and is
therefore entitled to a decree Of an
nulment of the marriage.
