_ Cmuipss Or BIGAMY.

Henry Page, 36, bricklayer, sou indicted for feloniously
intermarrying with Earns Clarke, otherwise Smith, his wits
being then and now alive.
Mr. Charnock defended.
Mrs. Martha Paget, the prisoner's mothereproved his first
marriage on the 6th of April, 1834, at St. John's the Evan.
gelist, Waterloo-roed, to one Ellen Eagan, by whom he
had two children. He lived with her until about two years
ago, when, in cansequince of her dreadfully dissolute habits,
he was compelled to be separated from her, and made her
an allowance of 6e. a week. Evidence was then given
which proved that on the 10. h of February, I. 1848, some
one of she name of Henry Dickson was marled at All Saints,
Poplar, to one Emma Smirk; but it c tuld not be proved
that the prisoner was the man, or that Emma Clarke, who
wes then in the dock, behind the prisoner, awaiting her trial
for havinf committed bigamy with him, was the woman re-
ferred to an the register.
The woman Clarke was then brought out of the dock into
the witness box, and having been sworn and cautioned not
to say anything to criminate herself, unless she pleased, said
that she knew the prisoner In m his coming to her husband's
house, and that her husband_always encouraged their ac-
quaintance.
The Common Serjeant—Did anything ever occur between
you and the prisoner at church 1 You need not answer tan
less you like.
Witness—No. Nothing ever did.
The Common Serjeant said there was an end of the case.
There was no evidence to prove the prisoner was the mast
married at Polar °hutch.
An acquittal was then taken.
Emma Clarke, 30, untried, was then indicted for bigamy
with Henry Page, alias Dickson, her husband being then
alive. . . . . . .

lt was then proved that she was married in Feb. 1842,
to her husband Clarke, who is now alive ; but the same
difficulty arose in proving her to be the party married at AU
Saints, Poplar.
The police officer said he saw the prisoner at her husband's
house, on the 17th of Jane; she war recovering from an
illness. She told him that she was married in 1843, at All
Saints, Poplar, to the primer Page--alie in the name of
Smith, and he Dickson. The °sly persons present were the
clerk and pewepener, as witnesses to the marriage.
Mr. Charnock having briefly addressed the jury, dwelt on
the feet that the only evidence against her was the statement
made by her when on a bed of skims's, and which she now
denied on oath.

The Common Comma Serpent haviog summed up, the jury
acquitted her.
