The following excerpt is from R. v. Cote, 1971 CanLII 782 (SK CA):
The last decision quoted, namely, Connolly v. Woolrich et al. (1867), 11 L.C.J. 197, is not available to me, but it appears to be a decision of a court of first instance considering the validity of a marriage between a non-Indian and an Indian woman performed according to Indian custom.
