ouaintances as single The woman declares
that the marriage ceremony was performed In

signed It a Mrs. Beach. the complainant In the

enter into a contract with her husband. The Court
accepted the application and reserved decision.

took in her house. The marriage would never have
been made known by her had she not wished TO
