SINGULAR CHARGE OF BIGAMY.

At the Hammersmith Police-court a stout buxom
looking woman, who gave the name of Mary Ann
Seller, was placed in the dock, before Mr. Ingham,
charged with intermarrying with Edwin Seller, her
first husband, William Randall, being alive.
Mr. Martin defended the prisoner.

The first witness examined was William Deverell,
who stated that he lived at 19, Stamford-road, Ful-
ham. The prisoner was his sister: He was too
young to be at her first marriage, which was in the
year 1844. He was now 39 years of age. Her first
husband was still alive. Witness produced a copy
of the certificate of her second marriage, at St.
George's, Hanover-square, on Feb. 19, 1860. She
was married the second time in the name of Mary
Ann Goldstone, which was not her right name.
By Mr. Martin—l am the prosecutor; not either
of the husbands. The first husband will prosecute
I am almost positive.
Mr. Ingham—You have taken up the case on
your own account ?

- Witness—l have. lam the prosecutor.
Mr. Martin—What is your motive for prose-
cuting your sister ?
Witness—Because she is a base woman, for speak-
ing ill of myself and my wife also.
Mr. Martin—Do you not know that the second
husband would not hurt a hair of her head ?

Witness—l can't say what he would do. He is
not man enough to come to the court.

Mr. Martin then cross-examined the prosecutor
as to his knowledge of the time the prisoner lived
with her husband, but he appeared to be unable to
give any accurate answers. He said that he knew
she lived with Randall for three or four years from
1844. He at first stated that she lived with her
first husband up to seven years ago, but afterwards
he could not state whether it was up to sixteen or
seventeen years ago.
Elizabeth Dodd, of No. 78, Queen's-road West,
Chelsea, said prisoner was her sister, and she was
brought to the court to give evince by her brother.
She spoke with reference to the first marriage, and
said the prisoner lived with Randall up to within
twelve months of her marriage with Seller. The
prisoner had been in service, and went home to
sleep.
The prisoner here shook her head, and called her
sister a wicked woman.

The sister further said that the first husband had
complained of his wife's marriage with Seller.
Police• Constable Fullord, 371 V, produced a copy
of the first marriage certificate, which he obtained
from Somerset House. He said he took the pri-
soner into custody on Tuesday night, and on tell-
ing her the charge she said it was correct.
Mr. Ingham then remanded the prisoner for a
week, and accepted bail for her appearance. He
told the constable that both husbands would have
to attend on the next occasion.
