CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

(Before the Recorder.)
Turnpenray, 36, printer, pleaded guilty to an in-
-meat, charging him with feloniously intermarrying with
. rlotte Shepherd. his wife being at the time living.
Mr. kkeley prosecuted; and Mr. Sleigh appeared for the
i.r.soner. _

It appeared that the prosecutrix was employed as a nurse-
: ill opposite to where the prisoner was employed, aad he
fur some time kept company with her, excusing himself
from introducing her to his friends by telling her that his
r...dber wished him to marry a woman by whom he had had
two illegitimate children. He induoed her to marry him,
telling her he was a single man. He told her be had to sup-
-I,,rt the woman he had alluded to and her children, and
took every Saturday 6a. Gd. for that purpose. The prosecutrix
Lad some suspicion, and watched and saw him walking with
female, who, upon her going up to speak to
him, asked her what she wanted with her husband,
and it then turned out that the woman the prisoner had
alluded to was his lawful wife, and the children were those
she had had by him. The second wife, it appeared, had one
hid by the prisoner. The prisoner did not neglect his
a Ife, however, for it appeared that he was in the habit of
‘isiting her from time to time, and was cohabiting with her
at the time he merited proscenia-ix.
Mr. Sleigh urged in extenuation that although the sari.
weer had been guilty of a grave offence, he had not in any
wad ill-used the preecutrix or his wife. _

The Recorder, however, said he could not see any ex-
tenuating circumstances, and sestenoed the prisoner to
twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour.
El. ..at Mayo, 30, clerk, pleaded guilty to a charge of
ettaling a letter containing a Post-office order far li.
Mr. Metcalf wee for the prosecution, and 31r. Kemp app
hared for the prisoner.
It appeared the prisoner was in the service of Mr. James
Four:nog, to whom the letter in question was addressed, and
-F-'o the letter being delivered be opened it, and finding it
,uz tallied a Poet-office order, endaved the order in the
Lime of his muter, and procured the money.
Mr. Kemp, for the defence, mid the prisoner bad
rmerly been in buskins, bat had been unfortunate,
,d had taken the situation seeder the prosecutor at a salary
(f it)s. a week, and at the time he committed the offence
eau in great want. _ _

The lierorder sentenced the prisoner to nine mouths' im- _ _

Metcalf grosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh appeared for the
IlAoter.

Thislss one of the ordinary eases of letter riesling. The
prisoner was employed as letter carrier and sorter in the
i.eneral Post-oMce, and the letter in question containing
several bills of 'idiom's, was addressed to Mr. Tyrwhitt in
the use of Mears. Lewis and Lewis, of Ely-place, was
prated in Paris on the might of the sth August, and in them-
dins, course would amulet the Port-Aloe in Loodoo about
half past the mut morning, and would pass through the
prisoser's hoods in sort's'. From something which tran-
spired, one of the officials in the course of the afteraoou
acted the prisoner whether he had anything at his house—
air property belonging to the office. The prisoner replied
tut he bad nothing that he knew of. Two Mame,
~,,,, were mot to search his house, and found the
letter in question containing the documents that had
bees enclosed is it, but having been opened. The
primer afterwards said he forgot to mention it ; but
m was given to him by a man who bad the appearance of a
locklayer, whosaid he picked it up in Wilsonetreet, Fine.
1,17, which it appeared was in the prisoosee district for
delivery. His attention was called to the fact of the letter
tivics bees opened, and he said it was in that state when it
lase (peen to him. He said, however, he hal omitted to
take the name and address of the man, for which he was
tor,. am he was afraid be would get into trouble.
Mr. Sleigh, in his address on behalf of the prisowar, en-
,earoared to maintain the same defenses as that metalloid
-. the prisoner's statement at the tints of the discovery of
tie crimes.

.The jury, after some hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty
