Present — Nolan, P.J., Johnston, Sneed, Wenzel and MacCrate, JJ. [ 192 Misc. 484.]


Order of the Domestic Relations Court of the City of New York, Family Court Division, County of Kings, directing appellant to pay $12 a week for the support of respondent and their infant child, unanimously affirmed, without costs. Appeal from judgment dismissed, without costs, no such paper appearing in the record on appeal. Since the proxy marriage celebrated in the District of Columbia was valid in that jurisdiction both as a common-law marriage and as a marriage by proxy, the marriage must be recognized as valid in this State.
