CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

x d

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Charles Marshall, 27, ship-painter, was indicted for
feloniously marrying Ellen Hagg.
Mr. W. J. Payne prosecuted.

Tne prisoner pleaded guilty.
The father of the second wife, in answer to the court,
said that his daughter was in business in the Cornmer-
cial•road when the prisoner became acquainted with her.
They parted in September last, and he then found that
the prisoner had been paying his addresses to a third
woman, and was about to marry her, baying borrowed
money from her, as well as he had from him (witness.)
The Recorder, on looking over the depositions, said
that he found upon the examination of the prisoner be-
fore the magistrate that they bad examined his first
wife upon oath against him. She was not a competent
witness, and should not have been called. It was
doubtless an error of the magistrates' clerk, and as
county magistrates were not generally members of the
legal profession, and so well versed in the law as the
metropolitan ones, he (the Recorder) made this remark
publicly for the guidance of the county magistrates.
The prisoner was sentenced to 12 months' imprison-
ment.

The committing magistrate was E. T. Busk, Esq.,
Edmonton.

Sam,ilel Sherrill and Jamcs Groves surrendered to take

their trial, for conspiring with a man not in custody to
give a false character upon the behalf of a prisoner under
conviction at the Middlesex S;.!ssion3.

Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Poland prosecuted, and Mr.
Metcalfe and Mr. Sleigh defended.
It appeared that upon the 13th of Sept. a man named
Lee pleaded guilty to a street robbery, and called three
witnesses, of whom the prisoners were two, to give him
a character, which they did, stating that he was a man
of great respectability, that they had known him for
some years, and gave the address at which they alleged
they bad known him. This proved to be entirely false;
and Mr. Bodkin, who was presiding as judge at those
sessions, sentenced the prisoner Lee to six years penal
servitude; and an inquiry, which resulted in the present
indictments, was directed. The Recorder, after hearing
part of the evidence, decided that the charge of con-
spiracy could not be maintained, and directed an acquittal.
The prisoner was then indicted upon the same facts
for perjury, and the trial was proceeding when we went
I
9i to press.
