Syllabus

<p>1. The settlement of a husband in a poor district is the settlement of Ms wife and their children; but, where the woman is not the man’s wife and their children are illegitimate, his settlement is not theirs.</p> <p>2. As a decree upon an appeal from an order of removal does not affect any of the legal rights of the alleged wife or her children, excepting their right to support by the poor district, the validity of the alleged marriage may be determined in such a proceeding.</p>
