EXTRAORDINARY CARE OF BIGAMY.

Susan youdg woman, having a
baby in her arms, pleaded guilty to • charge of feloniously
intermarrying with James Pack, her husband, Richard
Henry, being alive.
It appeared that the parties were originally married at
a very early age, and the first husband seemed to have
treated the prisoner very unkindly, and they frequently
quarrelled. It was urged in the prisoner's behalf that
shout two years ago, • quarrel took place between
the prisoner and her husband and the latter struck her
and she struck him again. The prisoner then seemed
to have asked her husband to give her some money
and he replied that he should not give her any more money
and that if she wanted any she must goon the streets. The
prisoner after this left her husband's house and became
acquainted with the second husband, Pack, and they
were eventually married. It was proved that after
the second marriage had taken place the first husband used
to go and visit her and her husband, and he represented
himself to be her brother-in-I.w, and the owners of the
house where the prisoner and Pack were lodging were
quite astonished when ho made his appearance shortly
afterw►rds, and gave the prisoner into custody
upon the present charge. The above facts were
proved by several witnesses, and it was also proved
that when the first husband was told that his wife was
living with another man, he said that he was quite wel-
come t her, and that he hail another young woman in
view, to whom he was about to be married.
The Common Serjeant said it was quite clear that this
was no: a case that called for substantial punishment, and
he ordered the grieorr to be confine* in Piewgate WOOS
month.
