That, in the event of their finding her a/eme covert, they could only render a verdict against Henry Marks.

The jury, after an absence of half an hour, returned into Court, and stated that they found Julia Marks to be a married woman, and rendered their verdict against the defendant Henry Marks in the sum of two thousand five hundred dollars.
