Sprigg, (1864) 33 L.J. Ch. 345) that the husband - whether before or after marriage -had not access to his wife within such a period of time before the birth, as admits of his having been the father. 'If a husband have access, although others, at the same time, are carrying on a criminal intimacy with his wife, a child born under such circumstances is still legitimate.' per Alderson, J., in Cope v.
