tion. charged with intermarrying with liexiah Richardson,
his first wife being then and now living.
Mr. Beard appeared for the prisoner, and Mr. H. Allen,

compel the attendance of the alleged second wife and the
witnesses. Sergeant Marsh, IY, who took the prisoner
into custody, informed his worship that he oonld not find
either, and he was of opinion they would never coins
forward.

Mr. Burcham, under these eironmstanoes, ordered the
prisoner to be discharged.

as Increase of nearly half an Inch. • Temperature has risen In
the north and fallen in Lie south, but not to • peat extent.
Winds at the entrance of the Channel were strong from the west
yesterday, but are now mostly light. Rain has fallen at the
southern stations, and thick fog N reported from Valencia,
Cork, and the Bay of Biscay. The wind at Rochefort is easterly.

DETERMINED Sricroe ON THE NORTH LONDON
RAILWAY.—This morning, about 8 o'clock, • most deter-
mined act of suicide was cotemilted near the Widen
Junction of the North London Railway. Just as a train
from Chalk-farm was coming into the station at Lhilston. •
decently-attired man was noticed to jump off the platform
right in front of the approaching engine, and before any
efforts could be made to save him the unhappy Man was
knocked down, and the train passed over him, shockingly
mutilating his body. Death must have been instantaneous.
The melancholy affair was witnessed by a large number of
who were standing on the platform waiting to
sane the train for the City. The remains of the unfortu-
nate man were removed to await an inquest.
FURTHER PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE RIO-YOR
OP HASCI.V.I.—it will be remembered that a month affo
the Rev. Edward Muckleston, M.A., rector of Haseley, to
Warwickshire, was convicted by the Osweetry magistrates
of defrauding the Great Western Railway Company, by
travelling over their line without a ticket. In the course
of the investigation into the charge it transpired that the
defendant had been guilty of a similar offence on other
dates, within the jurisdiction of the Werwieduibire magis-
trates, and a prosecution was instituted by the Great
Western Oompany, and the case was to have been heard
yesterday at the Henley-in•Anien petty sessions. Before
the opening of the court an arrangement was, however,
come to between the prosecutors and the defendant,
whereby the latter agreed to pay a considerable sum of
money (said to be .50L) to the sick fund established in con-
nection with the Great Western Company's service, and
the proceedings were stopped. The method of the fraud
alleged to have been committed in this instance was very
stainer to that disclosed during the investigation at
Oswestry, the rev, defendant having purchased a monthly
" tourist ticket," available for a single retinas journey
between Leamington and Rhyl, and, stopping short of the
Point at either terminus where the ticket would have been
demanded, had thus retained it in his possession, and
used it to travel up and down the line, without paying
any fare. The Rev. Edward Muckleston enjoys a bene-
fice of the emnial value of 4601 , and his diocesan is the
Bishop of Worcester.
THRoWINO STONEY AT RAILWAY TRAINS. - A cor-
respondent of the Tiows writs:—" I was travelling on
the Great E,stern in the O.:10 a.m. up train from Cant-
bridge last Flatunlay. We were going at about 40 miles
an hour, and were near Cheeterf.,el, when I heard a crash
of broken glass, and was immediately struck on the face
and all over me by fragments of the window opposite to
where I was sitting. The neat and floor of the carriage
were covered with bits of plate glass ; and a sharp-edged.
aliarp•pointeel stone, as big as three of my fingers, was
picked up from under my seat. There were two gentle-
men in the carriage besides myself. One of them, who
was sitting close to the window which was broken, but
fortunately with his back to the engine, looked out as soon
as be heard the crash, and saw two boys about 12 years of
age standing on the bank above the line, and there can be
little doubt that one of these boys threw the stone. The
force with which it came may be gathered from the fact
that the glans tore away considerable pieces of the window
frame, and drove them half across the seat of the carriage.
Had I been sitting nearer the broken window I might
have sustained serious injury ; and even as It was. I have
great reason to be thankful that I eel:taped unhurt."
