Access
Access, approach, or the means of approaching. The presumption of a child's legitimacy is rebutted, if it be shown by strong, distinct, satisfactory, and conclusive evidence, see Atchley v. Sprigg, (1864) 33 LJ 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. Cope, (1833) 5 C&P 604. Neither husband nor wife is admissible as a witness to prove non-access, Goodright v. Moss, (1777) 2 Cowp p. 594. See also Poulett Peerage Case, 1903 AC 395, and Russell v.
