CONVICTIOIC AND SENTENCE ON
BEV. DR. GILES.

At the Oxford Circuit Court, yesterday, the greatest
excitement was manifested to hear the trial of the Rev.
John Allen Giles, D.C.L., for marrying, at uncanonical
hours, and making a false entry in the register. The
court was densely crowded. The defendant was placed
in the dock, and appeared calm and collected.
Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr. Huddlestone were coun-
sel for the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Cripps, and
Mr. Scotland were for the defendant.

The indictment charged Dr. Giles first, with having
represented that a Robert Pratt and Jane Green were
married on the 3d of October, whereas they were married
on the sth of October, 1854 ; secondly, that he had said
they bad been married by license, whereas they were
r.ot ; and, thirdly, that he had said they were married
in th• presence of one Charlotte Tate, whereas they were
not.

It appeared that a Jane Green was in the service of
Dr. Giles—a man of great literary attainments, and who
spent much of his time in study—and who was one of
the stipendiary curates of the parish church of Bampton.
A young man named Robert Pratt, a shoemaker in thee
.village, was paying his addresses to Jane Green, and on in
Thursday, the sth of October last year, at six
o'clock
church by
the morning, they were married at the parish
Dr. Giles. They were seen to enter the
talked
