BIGAMY.

ITtitoN-HALL.—John Verity, a young, Man of
good _address, was hrought before Mr. BIRNiE, on
charges of bigamy and fraud.
Mrs. Body, of Carrington-street, Mayfair,
stated, that about three weeks ago the prisoner,
who had represented. himself as man of family
and fortune, and as holding the rank ,of Colonel
in the army, married her daughter, he having.at
that time, antl now, another wife, or wives,
living.

Miss Ann Body, alias Verity, an interesting
young woman, stated, that she was married to the
prisoner, at Newington Church, on the 17th of
last month,

Mr. Wm--. Nichols, of Brentford, statedi-that he
had been informed by Mr; Cross, a Gentleman re-
siding at Brentford, that the prisoner was some
since married at Liverpool, to his Or. Cross's)
sister, who was still living.
Mr. Joseph Ridont, a grocer;residing at Hyde,
in the Isle of Wight, stated, that in September
last, the prisoner, who then,represented himself as
a man of fortune, and high rank in the army,
purchased_ goods of him to the amount of 3/. and
gave him in payment a dr4ft'on Sir James Esdaile
and Co. for 101. _Air. Ridout gave him- the dif-
ference in cash ; but on presenting the draft. at
SirJamesEsdaile's, be was informed no such per-
son as Colonel Verity did then, or ever had, kept
cash with them.

Miss Ann Wild stated, that she resided at
Wood-green, near Hornsey, with her mother:—
Some time since, the prisoner was introduced to
them as a gentleman;of fortune, and became inti-
mate in the. family. In conversation one, day,
Miss Wild accidentally mentioned that she had
been obliged by .necessity to pledge a gold watch
for 21. ; the Colonel immediately entreated he
.might be allowed to redeem it for her,,•nd took
the duplicate for
_that 'purpose. The duplicate
was given to him, but they had neither been able
to obtain that or the watch since.
.Glennon, the •oflicer, stated, that in conse-
quence of infOrmation he received frOm Mrs.
Body, he went to the prisoner's lodgings at New-
ington ; the gallant Colonel, however, having re-
ceived some information of .the honour intended
:him, had retreated to a neighbouriing public-
house, from whence he dispatched a messenger to
his landlord, requesting lie would convey some
property to him, left at iris lodgings. Unfortu-
nately for him, Glennon received the message, and
determining to accoiap my the messenger in the
character of landlord, the unsuspicious Colonel fell
into the snare, and was taken prisoner. Several
other charges are'expected to be triought against
him, and be was committed for r-cexamination.

BOW-STREET. =--Yesterday James 'Savage, the
driver of a hackney-coach,' underwent a filial ex-
amination, charged with stealing a box, contain-
ing Bank' of England notes and silver, .to the
amount` of 121. the property of Mary Williams.-7-
The substance of the evidence !against the pri-
soner has been already detailed. The prisoner
was committed for trial.

• At this singular and novel fete, there was an
inhabitant of Kelso who was present at the last

THFI C6ACH-MAKERS.—This respectable body
bad a very sociable body dinner, a few days ago,
at the sign of " The Broken Wheel," in Clare-
market, when it *as resolved to return their unit-
ed thanks to the fc)llowin,, bodies : First, to the
Water Works Companies ; and,-seeondly, To the
Surveycirs.of the different. Parishes— for their re-
gular and patriotic neglect df the different streets,
during the frost and snow; by which .their busi-
ne.ss has been materially improved. Their last
toast was—

" Ilay frost never break; and wheels. never be whnle."

"Large 'flocks of barnacle geese have been seen
on the river Dee, near Chester, during the last

induced the officer to order them first to fire over
the heads of their assailants, and when further
pressed, and in danget of suffering, to direct them
to fire lower; the consequence of which was, that
a woman was killed, and the crowd dispark'd,
having first rescued one of the prisoners. The
