FOURTH COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OP BIGAMY.

This charge against Mrs. Barbary Wilson, which was
reported in The Sun when the lady was examined at Bow-
street, came on this morning.

It appeared that certain affidavits which had been ordered
to be filed by the defendant had not been served when it
was stated they had been posted.

The Recorder expressed his disapproval of such a course,
and consented to an application that the case should stand
over till next session, affidavits to be delivered 10 days be-
fore the commencement of the session.

Defendant's counsel (Mr. Giffard) produced a letter from
Toronto bearing upon the case, and the Recorder ordered
it should be embodied in the affidavits, as the prosecutors
were entitled to information as to its contents.

them. He attempted to put her out, when she set to throw-
ing the cups and saucers at him, and then threw a heavy
glass sugar basin at him, cutting his head and covering his
