The opinion
Whitfield, C. J.,
delivered the opinion of the court.
The marriage of the parties was null and void. The appellee was an entire stranger and pure volunteer. Tie had no interest whatever in the property, and all his payments were made as a simple volunteer. The case was precisely within the principles announced in the case of Berry v. Bullock, 81 Miss., 463 , 33 South., 410 , and the authorities therein cited.
The decree is reversed, and demurrer sustained, and the bill dismissed.
