1Opinion of the Court
Per. Curiam,
This is an appeal from the final order of the court of quarter sessions, in a proceeding instituted under the Act of April 13, 1867, P. L. 78. The principal question in dispute was as to the marriage of the defendant to the prosecutrix. The court filed an opinion which, after reviewing the facts of the case, concluded as follows : “ These circumstances seem to us not only to overcome any facts which tend to rebut a presumption of marriage, but, in connection with the testimony of prosecutrix, clearly show a valid marriage contract.”
