lames li'mkbtion was intli6ted, for having,
ottsly entered -into wedlock with Martha Mayor,
While-bh first wife, JaneSteyenson, was living.
The'Prisonerhad been a Serjeant in the ad Regi-
ment of Light Dragoons, and had married his first
wife, Jane Stevenson, at Newcastle, where she is
still liVing. Soon after his marriage, lie went abroad,
and was absent near ten years. On ,his return, he
paid his aeidresses to Mary Mayor, a young woman
residing at Croydon, and married 'her at that place,.
lir:tending:that he was a single man. It was how
ever, soon found out to be otherwise, and the Con-
stable,of Croydon was dispatched to the .town of
NeWcistle, to ascertain the truth of the Prisoner's
warriage, with his former wife..
On his-arrival, he found the woman to whom he
bad been regularly married, and returned .with the
certificate of her marriage, which WaS'produced in
Court, with other evidence, that kft no doubt of his
guilt. The Prisoner in his defence owned, that he
had been originally wedded to Jane,Stevenson, and
that he left her ten years since to go abroad; during
which time, he said, that he had repeatedly wrote
letters to her without having mace received any in
return, And at last had given her up for dead. He,
however, had heard since his arrival, that she had
married again.
The Learned Judge summed op theevidence, and
the, jury returned a verdia Guilty. He was imme-
diately sentenced to be transported for seven years.
