don't know whether lam married or not. He introduced
me to "gm° person of the name of Bishop, and said they
were Ll 4 relatives, and he called himself Bishop, but I
a farm rde found that they were not related to him. 13e man

raid, showing him my purse with 2.1. 4s. in it, " How
auld you like to have this 1" and the prisoner snatched it
tot of my hand. He had previously taken my watch
.w.y and left me deetitnte. He goes to a prostitute, and
when I go to her he tells her to knock me about ; and I
rant help myself, as I cannot fight.
Mr d'Eyncourt—You should take out a win:mons
the woman.

The prisoner--My right name is Bishop.
The prosecutrix—He was married in that name, but his
name is not Bishop, and old Bishop don't belong to him.
I have one in the name of Bennett and Bishop, and I
changed the latter to Bennett on finding old Bishop was
of is father. He is neither one mares child nor
mother s. (Laughter.)
Mr. d'Hynoourt—Do yon mean to may that he is any-
body' s child
The prnsecutrix—Yes, he is a natural child.
Mr. d'Eyncourt—l am afraid you are his wife. If he
acts ill to you and goes with a prostitute, you can go to
the Divorce Court. I cannot entertain the charge. The
prisoner is acting very ill to you.
The primmer—l was brought up bv a man and woman,
end always used the name of bishop. She is a bed
woman.

Mr. d'llynrourt—Not to live with her, and to take her
money from her, is the act of a scoundrel.
An angry altercation here ensued between the prom-
totriz anti the prisoner, each claiming the watch and
money, the prosecutriz stating that it was given to bar
by a gentleman before marriage, and the prisoner stating
that he bought it.
Mr. d'Eyncourt discharged the prisoner, and ordered
the property to be given up to bun, at the same time
telling him that if he was acting as the pratecutris said,
►e a villain.
