BIGAMY AND MURDER AT EDINBURGII.—A man
named William Bennison was tried before the High Court
of Justiciary, at Edinburgh, on Thursday and Friday last, for
bigamy and murder. The facts of the case u set forth in
the indictment were, that Benison had married a woman
mimed Mary Mullen, at Tavanagh, near Portadowe, in Ire.
land, on the 3rd of November, 1838 ; that on the sth of De.
umber, 1839, his first wile being still alive, he entered into
a matrimonial connexion with Jean Hamilton, residing in
Storeyetreet, Paisley ; and that on the 12th or 13th of April
last, in Steed's-place, Lelth.walk, neer Edinburgh, he ad.
ministered to Jean Hamilton a dose of arsenic in some por-
ridge or oatmeal, from the effects of which, after Hawing
two or three days she died. The case, which was heard
before the Lord Justice Clerk, Lord Monerieff sad Lord
Ivory, was conducted, on the part of the crown, by the Soli-
altar-04mill and Mr. Des,, advocate depute; the pri•
saner hying defended by Mr. Crawfurd and Mr. Scott.
During the early part of the proceedings the prisoner's
manner was confident, but as the evidence mediated, step
by slap the crimes of which he was charged, his oourage
drooped. In the wane of the trial it came out that &ani-
ses was a member of the small sect of Primitive Methodiata,
and had during his stay in Edinburgh made great pretensions
to sanctity. It was also proved that having deserted Dice
first wife, and bean about from her for some time, he re-
turned t..• her in Ireland, and induced her to accompany him
to Scotland, where she died suddenly at Airdrie, not without
suipioione of foul play. Her clothes were handed over by him
to the second wits as those of a deemed sister, ar d when
she, ascertaining that no sister of his had died, questioned
him on the subject his reply was, that it was " •

O.
elude*, and among other facts educed by the examination of
witticism, was the remarkable one that the prisoner was a
member of two or three funeral societies, and that he had
. joined one of them tha week prior to Jean Hamilton's
death. On being urged to used for medical amistanoe, the
answer made by the prisoner was, " It's no use, she's Pik(
home to glory." Aker an absence of 20 minutes the jery
brought in a verdict of Guihy on both the &ergo, libelled.
to oonformity with this fluting, the Lord Judea Clerk pro-
nounced the solemn st same* of the law, and the prisoner
was removed from the ter protest's,' his influence. The
enemies will take plain on Friday, the 18th of August.
