cnusetts IN lsl1. Counsel for libellant
immediately filed motion to amend the
libel to conform to the first marriage. and
II was on the legality OF an amendment to
divorce libel on such grounds that the
Court had to rule. The motion was
allowed, but the Court also allowed con-
tinuance OF the case.
Inc disclosure Of the first marriage was
surprise. 1t appears that the parties to
the suit contracted q secret marriage in
Massachusetts,, knowledge OF " hich was
kept from their most intimate friends.
In the following year a conveyance of
property nccessitated the joint execution
OF deed by the husband and wife, but
instead OF signing the paper as such and
thus making public the marriage OF the
year before, they decided upon a second
public marriage, which was performed in
Bangor.
