SNOW STORM IN THE CHANNEL.

FOLKESTONE, MARch 12.

For several hours on Saturday night this district
of coast was visited by a heavy fall of snow. The
wind blew strong from the S.W., which carried the
snow with such force and density as to shut out all
view of the coast light. During the storm two fine
outward-bound ships from the Thames went ashore
between this place and Dungeness, and it is feared
that they will become wrecks, thereby involving a
very serious loss. The first unfortunate vessel
which stranded was the ship Wagoola, Capt. Jar-
dine. She left the West India Docks last week,
laden with a general cargo of merchandise for
China, and had cleared the Downs, and was making
her course down Channel, when she encountered
the strong fall of snow on Saturday evening, and
eventually went ashore about half-past 11 o'clock,
in Eastware-bay. The coast guard, on hearing of
the wreck, rendered the most prompt aid, in the
hope of getting her off, but all their efforts failed,
and at low water she was left high and dry on the
sand. Yesterday two or three powerful steam-tugs
were employed at high water, with a view of hauling
her off, but she could not be moved. Every expedition
is now being made to lighten her of cargo, and then
another trial will be made to save the ship. The
tides, however, are falling off, and as the weather is
threatening, fears are entertained as to her fate.
The other ill-fated ship was the Woodcote, Cap-
tain Fleming, bound to Adelaide (making the fourth
vessel bound to that port, which has been wrecked
lately), she had received a general cargo in the
London Docks, and, like the former ship, was mek.
ing her course down Channel when she was caught
in the storm, and amidst the darkness went ashore
yesterday morning at one o'clock, near Dymchurch,
a few miles to the eastward of Dungeness. Tugs
have been engaged in endeavouring to tow the
shin up, but to no purpose. She remains fast in
the sand, and every despatch is being used to dis-
charge her. Like the Wagoola, however, her po-
sition is the most critical. She belongs to Mr. G.
Marshall, the eminent shipowner. The ships and
cargoes are insured for a considerable amount. The
coast guard are keeping a vigilant watch over the
stranded vessels.

AS,FIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-LINCOLN.

The business of this assize commence yesterday,
Mr. Justice Willes presiding in the Crown Court,
and Baron Pollock in the Civil Court. In the latter
court there were only six cases put down in the
list, none of which are of any public interest. The
number of prisoners to be tried is 20, two being
charged with wilful murder; the remaining 18
cases are very serious offences.

- CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Willes.)
EXTRAORDINARY CASES OF BlGAMY.—William
Brightman, alias William Brighton, was indicted
for having, on the 11th July, 1842, at Beeping, St.
James's, feloniously married Sarah Wanty, his for-
mer wife, Martha Brightman, being then alive.
The prisoner, who is 47 years of age, on being
placed in the dock, was accommodated with a chair,
he being exceedingly ill. He is a farm labourer,
and when called upon to plead he pleaded guilty.
The learned Judge, in passing sentence upon the
prisoner, made some very severe remarks on the pro-
secution. He said it appeared from the depositions
that the prisoner was first married in 1838, and in
consequence of a quarrel which arose between the
prisoner and his new wife, they separated by mutual
consent, having never cohabited together. On the
11th of July, 1842, the prisoner married again.
Since then eighteen years had elapsed, and
one might have thought that after that lapse of time
no one who had the commonest feelings of humanity
would have ever ventured to prosecute. He (the
judge) found that the prisoner had been sent for
trial by order of the clerk to the Spalding board of
guardians, he having applied to the board for parish
relief in consequence of indisposition. The prisoner
was then taken before the magistrates, and com-
mitted for trial. The prosecution was a most cruel
one. The prisoner might say he was sent there and
of excessive cruelty ; he might
ere for te purpose of bein
staruylyhoohnatdhhe
eseehorseehot
tortured ; and he might say heh had been sent there
thanf o
for the
eptuhrep
prosecutorose of b e i
in the position of any prisoner in the calendar. The
prosecution was no such thing, it was persecution ;
being
gh
e murdered.
(the judge) ln short, rather
would stand
d
and the sentence upon the prisoner would be one
imprisonment, inasmuch as the prosecution
was what he had described it.
M. Brightman,: who was the first wife of the pri-
soner, was then placed in the dock, and she pleaded
guilty to an indictment for having married at Spald-
ing, Michael Brown, Nov. 19, 1858, her former hus-
band (the abovenamed male prisoner) being then
alive. The sentence of the Court was that she be
imprisoned for one day.
The learned Judge said he should disallow costs
of prosecution in both cases. The cases were more
fitted for a romance than a criminal court of justice
and they ought never to have been sent there. He
had received from the minister and others of the
parish in which the female prisoner had lived, a
requisition praying
that the Court would deal
leniently with her ease, as she had for nearly 20
years been married to a man, and had tried to con-
duct herself respectably. He had already made
some observations on the male prisoner's case, and
he must say that he adhered to them. The com-
mitting magistrate was not in fault. It was the
indiscreet, the ill-informed, the most harsh unfeel-
ing person who instituted the prosecution that was
to blame for all.
