admission of their marriage, because such admission would be against public order. The other ground was that the V, amount of the judgment had been arrived at on an erroneous basis, and that it was therefore exorbitant, arbitrary and most exaggerated and far in excess of the damages which had been suffered by Mrs. Carreau.
The first ground was set aside by the appellate court for the reason that marriage had been proved as a result of the questions put by the appellant's counsel to the respondent upon his examination on discovery and that there was no question of public order; and, on the second ground, the appellate court affirmed the amount of damages. The Supreme Court of Canada, after hearing counsel for the appellant and for the respondent, delivered judgment dismissing the appeal with costs.
