An Englishman who had resided, and had a little office here sometime, but which he gave up and returned to reside in England, being pursued before the Commissaries in an adherence to a marriage alleged solemnized while he resided here, he offered advocation because of incompetency; but the Court considered it as quœstio status both of the wife and child of the marriage, but not as to aliment, or the other ordinary conclusions; yet I believe we refused the advocation. (See Dict. No. 14. p. 4793.)
