CHARGE Or BlOANY.—Yesterday Samuel Scat:lard, a green-
grocer, residing in Dorset-crescent, Hoxton New-town, was
brought before -Mr. OSBORNE, on a charge of bigamy.
Constantine, a constable of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, stated, that
yesterday morning the prisoner's atcord wife, a young woman
present, came to him in great apparent distress; and. in collie-
, querce of her statement, he took the prisoner into custody.
The young woman was then sworn. She stated that her maiden
name was Elizabeth Lock ; wl.en she unfortunately became ac-
quainted with the prisoner she was comfortably situated in a gen-
tleman's family in Bedford-row. The prisoner represented himself
as a single man, and married her at a church in Aldersgate-street,
in June, 1024. At that time she had 1001. in money, which she had
saved, and with which they entered into business; bu' about three
months ago she found out that the prisoner had another wife living,
and being ill-treated by him site left him on the 21st of March,
upon an agreement that he should allow her ss. per week. Ile,
however, did not keep his promise, and his other wife was now
again living with him.
Certificates of the two marriages were then handed in.
The prisoner said that the complainant had left him without any
just cause.
Mr. OSBORNE—But that does not justify you marrying her,
when your wife was still living.
The prisoner--She knew it very well.
The young woman declared that the first knowledge she had of
his being already married was from the following singular docu-
ment, which she found in his by( shortly before their separation :
" This is to certify that I, Jane Scullard, wife of Samuel Scul.
lard, do hereby give my word and oath, th:,t I never will trouble,
interrupt, nor molest him in any way whatever, but leave him to
his own free will and choice to marry whomsoever he may think pro.
per, and do hereby give him free liberty, from this 10th day of
December, 1011.—As witness my hand,
" JAYE SCOLLART)."
The Magistrate asked if the complainant could prove that the
woman said to be living with the prisoner was the wife spoken of.
The complainant said the woman herself declared she was the
prisoner's lawful wife.
The prisoner was remanded.
Ile is a respectable-looking,' middle.aged man, and previously
to his marriage with the con:plat:ant lived as porter at the bank.
