by Inspector Holoes, of the F division of the Metro•
petit force, who at once took him int,. custody upon
th- charge of having falsely inwersonsted a clergyman,
and with h ,viii-• .1,1t1.11 as such in various parts of the
country. On 'Toe.. lay last lie was brought before the
We. If. Gale, of Milton. when a solicitor from the
Treasury A: isored against him by orler of the Home
Serretary,suil charged him with loving Wady married a
maple in Huston 1 burgh, lie not being in Holy Orders.
Ile wasosked whether he answered to the name of W.
Situp or Edward Norman Carew? He denied,
however, both iif 'these names, ani admitted that his
right naine'was Edward Seymour Burch, which appears
to be his right cognomen. He was then informed of the
charge brought axainst him, to which he made no
reply ; and the evidence of the parish clerk of Rushall
was taken to prove the norringe of a party by the

The next charge allege.t against him Was that he
had married a couple in Linton, in the netgli-
bourhood of Moss. To support this charge,
the Iteveren I T. C. If 7urtcis. of Linton,
...tated that the pritaner applied for him for temporary
duty as an assistant curate, stating that lie was at that
very time ,rate of a parish in Devonshire, but that
Ito had got ..nother clergyinan to take his place, whilst
he went away for a abort time for • change of air. His
story to Mr. CurtAis was that he was • M.A. for Oriel
Colle4e, Osford, and that his name was Edward Norman
Crew. On looking, however, at the Clerical Directory,
Mr. Curtatis WAS unable to find any such name as
