Mr. Maude inquired which of the two husbands gave the
r,ober into custody, when

The first husband came forward as her prosecutor. He
tel he was a carman, residing at 50, Chastette-street,
artain.road, Shoreditch. Twelve years ago he married
.e prisoner; but a month afterwards she left him, and
I, had neither seen uor heard anything of her since,

eather-lane, Holborn. He then happened to see a letter,
Mich had been sent through the post, and recognising the
luting as resembling that of the prisoner's, be opened it,
• ascertained that she was living in Deptford in the
fume of Wilkinson. He accordingly proceeded to Dept-
'ord, and finding that the prisoner had been married to
nether man he called in a police-constable and gave her
▪ custody.
Mr. Maude—Why the prisoner must actually have left

entleinan used to take her out sad give her drink. I was
I.n in the habit of attending Romford market on
Volnesday. One day after doing so I returned home to
my tea. I sat there waiting, like a cuckoo —flaughter)—
or toy wife (the prisoner), and as she did not come I went
pasha, and found unmistakeable signs that the bird had
town, and that the cage (articles of furniture) had gone

Mande asked where the witnesses were to the first
as the husband could not prove a felony against
wife.
le prosecutor said all the bridesmaids who attended the
ling were dead except one of " the girls," who could
sal another day.
r. Sadgrove was about cross-examining the first bus-
I, but
r. Mande said, as the first husband could not be ex-
red as a witness he could not, of course, be cross-
dned. It would be necessary that a copy of the mar-
t register should be produced, and abio the person the
husband bad stated would be able to speak to
manner being the person named in such register.
