a cash box, containing about 1001. in notes and gold,
and valuable securities to a large amount.
W. C. Lancaster said he occupied apartments in the
house of Mr. `Veils. On the mornirg of the 25th
October, he heard an alarm of thieves in the house. He
went into his bedroom, and found a police constable in
his sitting-room. He discovered that a secretaire had
been broken open, and a cash-box, his property, stolen
therefrom. The cash-box contained six 101. bank notes,
33 sovereigns, and three 51. notes, besides other
monies, and about 6001. worth of shares in Mexican and
South American stocks. A quantity of other property
had also been stolen from the room which had not been
recovered. The cashbox now produced was part of the
stolen property.

John Wells, landlord of the house, No. 23, Percy-
street,t,said on the morning of the 25th Oct., he was dis-
turbed by a ring at the door bell. On going down stairs
he discovered that seven of the rooms had been entered,
and property stolen belonging to himself a-id also to Mr.
Lancaster, who lodged it, the house. Witness missed
some articles of plate and other property, worth about
7/. Witness found that the kitchen window bad been
forced open, and an entrance effected in that manner.
Chartes Langham, police-constable E 168, said, about
half past two on the morning of the 25th October, the
prisoner passed him on his beat with something bulky
under her cloak. Her appearance being suspicious, he
fillowed her and asked her what she had beneath her
cloak. She replied, what she had got was her business.
H asked her why she hesitated to tell him what she had
with her, adding that if she had become honestly pos-
sessed of what she kept secret, she would not be afraid
speaking out. He then asked her where she bad
brought it from. She said she had brought it from
home, and was going to take it home again to Ogle-
street. Witness not being satisfied with her answers,
took her to the station-house, and there removed her
cloak, and found beneath it a cash-box. Witness asked
her where she got it from ; she replied as she was coming
along the enclosure of Russell-square she stumbled up
against something, she stooped and picked it up, and
found it was a cash-box. Where the prisoner was stop-
ped was about half a mile from Mr. Wells's house, and
she was coming along the road from the house. The
cash-box on being examined was found to contain the
money and securities stolen from Percy-street. The box
was identified by Mr. Lancaster. The prisoner had
given a false direction in Ogle-street.
Police Constable Overy, E 121, discovered the door of
Mr, Well's house open on the morning of the robbery,
and gave an alarm.
The prisoner, who is well known to the police, and
who is believed to have had associates in the burglary,
said she would reserve her defence, and was fully
committed.

THAMES.—Josesph Legg, about 45 years of age, and
carpenter of the ship Don Ricardo, was charged with
feloniously intermarrying with a young woman, named
Anne Mary Darg, his wife Mary being then alive.
Both wives were present. The first was a stout
matron, about fifty years of age, who appeared full of
indignation. The second wife was a slender female,
who was much younger, and greatly agitated during the
examination, and attended in her affliction by another
female, who acted as her bridesmaid only 8 days ago.
The second wife, who held down her head, was led
into the witness box to be examined, and Mr. Yardley
said he would begin with proof of the first marriage.
The first wife bustled forward and said she was the
prisoner's lawful spouse.
Mr. Yardiey (interrupting)—l can't hear you. I must
have other evidence of the first marriage.

A police sergeant of the H division, said the prisoner
was married to his first wife in Liverpool, five years
ago, and the witnesses who were present resided in that
town and had not been yet communicated with.
Mr. Yardley—Then let me have evidence of the
second marriage.
Simon Baker, a police-constable (No. 150 H.) stated
that he took the prisoner into custody on Sunday even-
ing at the house of Mr. Darg, the father of the second
wife, at No. 8, White Horse-court, Prescott-street,
Whitechapel ; and, upon acquainting him with the
nature of the charge, he said he knew nothing about
marrying two wives. At the station-house the charge
was again mentioned to the prisoner, and he said he was
very sorry for it and he could not help it.

The first wife—He has never been sober since he mar-
ried this poor young girl.
William Darg, a shell cleaner, said he was the father
of the young woman who had been inveigled into mar-
riage. The prisoner first came to visit the daughter of
witness about seven or eight years ago, when he was
shipmate with her brother. The prisoner made a pro-
posal of marriage to her several years ago, and it was
not then accepted. The prisoner was away five years,
and on his return a few days ago again renewed his pro-
posal of marriage, and said it must be now or never.
Witness spoke to his daughter and said she was just of
an age able to judge for herself, but thought she had
better not have a man old enough to be her father. His
daughter said she would have the psisoner and no one
one else, and a license was immediately precured in
Doctors'-commons, for which the prisoner paid 2/. 17s. '
6d., and was to have been married on the same day but
it was too late, and he was not married until Sunday,
the 6th instant, when the wedding was solemnized at
St. Mark's church, Tenter-ground, Whitechapel. The
prisoner was asked by the Rev. Mr. Hayward, the curate,
if he had been ever married before, and he declared that
he had not. The prisoner and his second wife had occu-
pied apartments in the house of witness since his mar-
riage, and on Sunday the first wife claimed her husband,
on which the prisoner said his first wife was a Roman
Catholic, that he was married in a Roman Catholic
chapel, and that consequently the marriage would not
stand good. The first wife, however, produced her
certificate, which proved that she was legally married in
a Protestant church.

The two certificates of marriage were put in. The
prisoner was married at St. James's Church, Toxteth-
park, Liverpool, to Mary Tringleton, widow, on the 11th
Nov. 1849, and he was described as a shipwright.
Mr. Yardley—Now there is some evidence of the first
marriage. Now swear the second wife.
The second wife got into the witness box and appeared
so mach afflicted that the magistrate said be would spare
her from giving evidence at present, and he should re-
mand the prisoner for a week, to give time to the officers
to bring witnesses who were present at the first mar-
riage in Liverpool.
