FRIDAY EVENING.

The COURT resumed its labours this morning at nine
o'clock, when Mr. Serjeant WILDE replied for the plaintiff.
During five hours and a half he occupied the Court with an
address replete with sound argument and the most lucid lo-
gical deductions ; he commented in no measured terms on
the conduct and testimony of many of the witnesses pro-
duced in support of the defence, placing in the most striking
contrast their conflicting evidence, and arguing therefrom
that so far from establishing the plea of the defendant, it
had fully made out the case of the plaintiffs, and strikingly
corroborated the testimony of his witnesses.

The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to sum up, and the
Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs, which was followed
by slight applause from the audience.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Auo. 14.
CROWN SlDE—(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.)
William English was indicted for bigamy, in having un-
awfully married one Jane Dixon, his former wife being then
;till alive.

The prisoner was upwards of 50 years of age. It was
proved that in 1803 he was married to a young woman of
the name of Jane Walker, at All Saints' Church, in New-
castle, by bans, both of them then being under age. He
lived with this woman and had children by her, but after-
wards went into the army, from which he was discharged
with a pension. She was addicted to drinking, and left him
at Liverpool nearly nine years ago, but had been seen and
heard of both by him and others at a late period. After-
wards, he cohabited with Jane Dixon, and resided with
her at Bolton-by-Sands, in the northern part of this county.
His marriage to her in 1827 was satisfactorily proved, and
the jury found him Guilty.'
Ann Marsden was indicted for bigamy, in having mar-
ried one Thomas Edwards, her former husband, Joseph
Marsden, being then still alive.
The case was satisfactorily made out, and the jury found
the prisoner Guilty.
She was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard la-
bour for one year.
Robert Yates was put to the bar, charged upon an in-
dictment for having feloniously, unlawfully, and maliciously
attempted to administer poison to one Elizabeth Davies.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.

said unlawful oath was taken by the said William Ellison.
The Jury returned a verdict of guilty.

" It is a matter of congratulation," observes the Printing
Machine, "to find an accomplished gentlemanland experienced
traveller, like Mr. Morier, devoting himself to that admirable
branch of literature, novel-writing. His early life having been

character of the Osmanlis, the Greeks, the Armenians, the
Jews, and other strange dwellers in the Sultan's dominions.
