AN INTERESTING CASE
SCOTTISH MARRIAGE LAW. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) LONDON, June 22. Mr Justice Ashmore decided at Edinburgh that under the Scottish law, a woman was legally married to a man who died before they could be married; further, that the child born was legitimate. The woman swore she was engaged to be married and that the banns were published, but the bridegroom died nine days before the date fixed for the wedding. The child was born eight months after the father’s death.
