Cross-examined by Mr. Doessubs, the defendant's soli-

and cohabited with law before I separated from my wife.
My wife did not approve of it, basses she saw that I was
" inveigled " into the cosamica. I admit that I married
Rebecca Phillips in 1844. I knew that she was married to
another man, and she knew that I was married to another
woman ; but her friends wished it. so we were married. I
knew it was not right accordingly to law. I had lived with
her three years before. I also know Polly Thomas. I will
swear that I married Polly too; I never contributed
more than M. or 101. towards my wife'. support alter we
separated, although I knew she was badly of.
In reply to Mr. Henry,
Mr. Jsrana,who presented ca behalf of the Treasury a-
licitar,stated that he was salines of the triroussetasees thus
disclosed. Mr. Duacembe was contending that his client,
who had taken Mrs. Tees into a respectable home, to live
in a respectable way, had only acted with a view to lave her
memory from shame ; and that he thought that the second
marnye of Tees annulled his first, when
Mr. henry suggested that the case should stand over for
a week. The conduct of Yees was no justification for that
of Avis; but a person in his politica of life might have acted
in ignorance under all the circumstances.
The inquiry WAS accordingly adjourned.

Ellen Blakey, a smart young woman, was charged with
having set fire to the dwelling-house of Mr. James Casaly,
of No. 3. Derby-street, Hing's cram.
Mr. %Acting, who prosecuted, stated, that his client
held a responsible situation at Messes. Rucker and COOl.
pang's, colonial agents, 12, Great Tower-street. The
prisoner, with another female, had lodged in his house,
but being of filthy habits and making a practice of going
about almost in a state of nudity, be gave them Doti,* to
quit; but they obstinately persisted in remaining on the
premises, from which much valuable property had been
abstracted, and the accused being charged with the theft
she became abusive, and committed a gross assault, for
which she was brought to this court and held to bail to
receive judgment on a future day, under a promise to leave
her apartments within a week, and to afford every facility
to trace the missing property. On the previous afternoon
Mr. Cssaly'e servant was in the kitchen, when she was at-
tracted by a smell of fire and smoke, and on proceeding to-
wards the kitchen, she saw the prisoner running upstairs,
in; hurried and confused manner, and almost instantly
afterwards the lower part of the dwelling-house was in a
blaze, which spread with rapidity over the whole premises,
destroying property of great vain*. Engines were
quickly on the spot, and by the efforts of the
fire brigade the adjoining buildings were preserved.
Suspicion immediately fell upon the prisoner, who
was given Into the custody of police-constable Huake, No.
40, of the E division.
Several witnesses were examined, and their evidence:
went to show that a quantity of straw had been placed
under the stairs of the kitchen, and that it had been wil-
fully set fire to.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, after a patient investigation, remanded the
prisoner, refusing to take bail.
