New York Court of Appeals

Amelia Gall, Respondent v. Charles F. Gall, Appellants

April 16, 1889114 N.Y. 109

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment, holding that the jury's findings that Amelia Gall was the lawful wife of Joseph Gall were supported by sufficient evidence of cohabitation, declarations, and reputation; that John Jerman's marriage to Amelia was void for lack of good‑faith reliance on the statutory exception; and that the trial court properly struck improper evidence. The appellate court also affirmed its jurisdiction to review the lower court's decision.
