Felton, J.

This case arose on a caveat to tbe appointment ‍​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍of an administrator. Tbe question to be decided is as to tbe validity of a common-law marriage. The ‍​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍evidence, though conflicting, authorized the jury to And that the parties agreed to live together as husband and ‍​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍wife, and that they held themselves out as such after the said agreement. There is no merit in ‍​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍any of the grounds for new trial; and the verdict, having the approval of the trial judge, will ‍​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍not be disturbed..
