la December last year he was married to a lady named Isa-
bella Banks., his former wife being them alive. He did not
mopes to eater into any of the circurostinces coma:dad
OM the mixed marriage, bet he would merely state that
Mies Betakes was a lady of considerable property, and had
also great personal sunbeams, and they were aware that
she had died Mace the marriage with the prisoner. The
beraed seemed thee gave a short narrative of the facts, sad
odd that the simple question the jury would have to decade
was, whether, whoa the prisoner contracted the second mar-
rims, his drat wife was alive.

and that di the throw of such evidence the only Inference
that receded be mese to was that when Mary Durham was

canammotly no legal took place.
Harm Drunwen said hemarriege e had no doubt himself that there

with Ids teethed brother Bytes upon the point.
The lardddp then led the ran and rammed in a few mi-
nds sod stated that Mr. Jerks Dyke was of opinion that

domed with the offence of bigamy. Under ordinary dr-
cometemos prosecutions of this hind were instituted by the
first wife, but more often by the second, as the was In
may such oases deluded and the victim of
sednedre and fraud. In the present ease it
wan elear that the first wife took no part in
the preestolka, and it was equally obvious that the
CrWution was not instituted by the friends of the unhappy
ho was now no more, and that his learned friends
merely append to prorocute by the direction of the Seers-
dry of Star. He could not help thinking, therefore, that
mender those dreutnatancre the defendant was entitled to

prow the *Odom too harshly against him, ad if the evi-
dence NM Is any material point that they would give the
