Keane, the governor of Horeentooser-lane Gaol, being under
aeatetthe of death for the murder of Isabelle Banks, and wits
broaeht to the Court under the authority of a writ of hawse
ENNT*2 •

The court and the Vll6Olll entreeces were dowdily crowded,
sad a great mob of people bed collected outside. The pri-
soaer does not appear to have suffered in any degree from
laeoronoalos, U. looked bola end heerty, and Ws
counieneace betrayed no sign uf mental anxiety. Hie de-
meanour throughout wee that of quiet indifference. He
wee not la the pima garb, and wears his moustache as
Wore hie carnation. Holm charged "for that he did on t►e
lbdi day of December lase, nalawfally end feloniouely inter-
marry with one lealielk Hanka, his wife Mary being then
Mire."

Mr. Clerk, Instructed by the solicitors to the Treasury, er
peered for the prosecution, and Mr. Robinson, the solicitor,
Mkt alf-rnoce-strest (who was secrompardei by the prisoner's
heather), webbed the toes dor the prisoner, but put no
quatioas to say at witnesses.

- Mr. Clark sail —SW, 1 have the booms of eppearitig be-
fon not to-day, instructed by the solicitors to the Vinery,

atracted me to prefer a charge of bigamy against the

Ilmatturst, the primate at the bar, wax tried and en:Meted
of • capital charge at the Central Criminal Court. Her
kleisitly's advisors Itemiser thought fir to recommend that
the ammo, then pronounced enould not be carried
lato execution, I appear here to-day to prefer
another chugs ageism him. Daring the invesUp-
Boa of that case, it came out that In the year
On the gamy was married to a person tamed May Der-
ham at It. Mark's Church, Kennington. For may
years be melded with his wife. He resided with
her is feet up to the month of December, 1838, when
he bred wit► hie yds, Mary, at a boarding-bones in Bays-
water. At that thee and place he formed the acquaintaaos
of Isabella Henke; and about the 9th of December, 1868,
he left his wife at the boarding-house, and at the
garish church of Battersea Intermarried with Isabella
leaks.. That parson la no looger alive. It was her death
which led to an inquiry at the Contra COMICAL! Court, with
regard to the capital charge. I will now shortly put these
Lets in widows, and then ask your worship for a cora-
lafttal.
