Jame: Knish was indicted for rilgatny, in mtrryi a second wife, his former wife being still livin g . It was proved that in May, 1301, he marred first wife, who wasnow lining, and that in the Aug! of the same year he marries his second wife. On crossdexamindition by Mr. Coliwonci, it 'cat out, that his first Wife being pregnant, he was corn, mitted to prison as father of the child, and that parish compelled him to marry bet. As soon as . came from Church he left her, and never cohabited with her afterwards, but that he had constantly li with his second wife, by whom he had a family whom he maintained. Lord ELLENnostouGH reprobited the conduct the parish, as being, in part the cause of the cri committed by the defendant ; but At the same ti he told the prisoner his offence was not extenulL towards the woman whom he had deluded by a sq. posed marriage; and the wrong done her off.pring was very serious, inasmuch as it deprived them et • rights of legitimacy. But in apportioning his ntshment he should not forget the wrong done to prisoner himself by the constrained marriage forced upon him by the parish. He therefore only sentenced him to one year's imprisonment. The business in both Courts being finished, Assizes ended at seven o'clock. SUFFOLK. 1101011. SON, CLERK,- v. JElthaV e MAY. AND GOMM This was an action to recover damages for the 7 jury sustained by the Plaintiff's character, from following Libel: " The Rev. J. Rubinson and Mr. James Robinette, inhatitstits of this town, nut being persons tlrtt the Ploprietufs or - Annual Su bscribers think fit to atm/claw with, are excluded this room." These words were contained in the Resolution hpng up in a public room at Southwold, called the Casinn, as also in a circular book, containing the names e' the Suscribers. Mr. Serjeant Fart; in a speech of consideraL length, recapitulatid a long correspondence between the Defendant Jermyn and Dr. Marsh, recpec' the character of the Plaintiff, in which the Deferk characteriged the Plaintiff as obnoxious to almost every individual in Southwold. and a species of cast from their society. After several witnesses had been examined to the Libel on the Defendants, die Chief Baron adv 7 the Plaintiff's Counsel to accept a nonsuit, the evidence of the Defendants having put up the being the taking it down. Mr. Serjeant FREIIE said, o we have more evidence my Lord," upon which the. CHIEF BARON obsei " Go on, let Mr. Ri.binson expose himself as much as he pleases." In summing up the evidence the ClllEr BARON served, that the Plaintiff had the misfortune to be noxious to almost every individual in Southwold, that every society had a right to exclude . whocn please, but this should be done in such a way as law allows; this, he thought, had not been observed in the instance before him. The Jury had, therefore, to consider the injury the Plaintiff had sustained. The Jury gavea verdict against Jermyn and Gooch (nothing appearing to implicate May), of 450. The CHIEF BARON said, o That is 449 too much. I should have given a very different verdict, but ' is nothing." THI KING V. SIR G. WOMBWELL. This was an indictment for an assault on the Rev. W. Clerke, whilst shooting upon lands in the occu pation of Mr. Cockerel', lying within a manor be longing to the Defendant, and for challenging him to fight. Clerke (the prosecutor) swore, that as he was shooting on Mr. Cockerell's lands, Sir George rode up to him in a great hurry, and, after using much oppro brious language, challenged him to fight ; he then got off his horse, and on Mr. Clerke's replying, that his profession was not fighting, brushed him with his el bow.—On the part of the defendant, evidence was produced, tending to prove that he did not challenge the prosecutor, but only declared that he would fight him, if he were not privileged by his profession ; and . with respect to the assault, it was also proved that the proiecutor ran against the defendant's hand, and im mediately, with apparent satisfaction; exclaimed— a" An assault! assault! now I have the law of you."
