The King against The Inhabitants of Binegar

the king against the inhabitants of binegar. Wednesday, May 7th, 1806. An order of removal of J. S. and B. his wife, made upon the examination of the wife, adjudging that they lately came into the parish of K. and are likely to become chargeable to it, and were last legally settled in M., is good upon the face of it, and conclusive upon the parish of M. as to the marriage and settlement of the husband and wife; so that upon a subsequent removal of the wife, describing her as B. S., single woman, from M. to B., M. cannot shew in evidence that the marriage was null and void. On the appeal by the parish officers of Binegar, in the county of Somerset, against an order of two justices for the removal of Elizabeth Savage, otherwise Walters, by the name of Elizabeth Walters, single woman, from the parish of Midsomer Norton, in the said county, to the parish of Binegar, the order of removal was affirmed by the sessions, subject to the opinion of this Court on the following case : On the 25th of April 1793, by an order of two justices made on the complaint of (a) 5TermEep. 715. 7 EAST, 378.

And the said Betty was removed from Kilmersdon to Midsomer Norton; but against this order of removal there was no appeal. On the 20th of July 1799, by another order of two justices, made on the complaint of the parish officers of Wellow, in the said county, it was complained and adjudged in the following words; viz.
