Charge of Bigamy against a Bironet.

BOW-STREET-(Tim DAY.)

To-day, Sir Culling Eardlcy, Bait, was placed
before Mr. Flower to answer a charge of bigamy.
l'he defendant was apprehended on a warrant which
charged him with feloniously marrying, on the 12th
of September, 18G7, Mary Alleyne, his wife, Emily
Florence, being then alive.

Mr. Giffard, Q.C., prosecuted, and Mr. M.
Williams appeared for the prisoner.
Mr. Magee said—l reside at No. 4, Lancaster-
street, Hyde-park. In the year 1859 I was living
in New York, and at the time I had my daughter,
Emily Florence, residing with me. fu the course
of that year I became acquainted with the
defendant, Sir Culling Eardley. lie ultimately
paid his addresses to my daughter, and was married
to her on the 12th D.e., 1859, at Calvery Church,
in the episcopal diocese of New York. The mar-
riage was performed in the ordinary way by a person
in holy orders. I heard the defendant and my
daughter consent to become husband and wife. I
afterwards saw the prisoner sign the register.
Mr. M. Williams— You saw the prisoner sign
something ?

Witness—The clergyman said it was the register.
As long as I remained in New York the newly-
married pair lived together as husband and wife.
Cross-examined by Mr. M. Wi!lituns—l first
became acquainted with the prisoner at the latter
end of November of the year 1839. I knew
him to be domiciled in New York three or four
weeks before the marriage.

Mr. Willianis—Can you swear that of your own
knowledge?

Witness—Yes, I can.

Mr. Williams—You positively swear that you
saw the defendant 21 clear days in New York be-
fore the marriage.

Witnesz—Well, I'll not be positive, but I thick it
was so.

Mr. Williams—Who was present at the mar-

riage ?

Witness—Cyrus Field and some of his family.

Ile is a pereon of known respectability, I think. in
England. Another gentleman, who is at present
in court, was also there.

Mr. Strepham produced the certificate of the
officiating minister iu New York of the marriage
properly signed and sealed.

Mr. Moseley said—l was present at the marriage
in New York of the prisoner and Miss Magee. I
have a sprt of recollection about the signing of the
registering ; it is nine years ago. I went into a
room after the ceremony.

Mr. M. Williams—You will not be quite certain
about signing the register ?

Witness—Well it is now nine years ago.

William Henry Bannister—l am the registrar of
marriages for St. George's, Hanover-square. I
produce the register of the marriage between Sir C.
Eardley and Miss Alleyn, on the 12th of September,
1867. The marriage was performed before me by
licence, at the registrar office, iu the parish of St.
George's, Hanover-Equare.

Mr. Robert De Tracy Gould—l am a barrister of
the American bar, at which I have practir.ed for
many years. lam acquainted with the law of the
State of New York. I have heard the evidence
given by Mr. Magee of the ceremony in Calvery
Church. If it took place as that gentleman has
described, it was a perfectly valid marriage
according to the law of America. It
is not at all necessary to enter it on the register to
make it legal. It is quite unnecessary and quite
exceptional.

Mr. Williams—You have no doubt an authorised
copy of the law with you ?
Witness—No, I have not.

Mr. Giffard—What is the law with respect to
domicile ?

Witness—ln the State of New York no domicile
is required.

Mr. Flower—Nothing is required, then, as to
domicile ?

Witness—No, nothing.

Mr. Williams—Nor before the British Consulate ?
Witness—No.

Mr. Williams—No witnesses?
Witness—No, but it is taken as matter of pre-
caution.

Mr. Giffard—Then there are no banns required?

Witness--No, nothing. You can be married in
your own house, or even in the open air if you like.
Mr. Joseph Stretton, of 3, Gray's Inn-square,
said—l am one of the attesting witnesses to the
deed of separation which was executed by the pri-
soner and by his wife, Emily Florence.

William Buck—l am warrant officer of this
court. I apprehended the prisoner last night at
No. 5, Grosvenor-villa, Junction-road, Upper
Holloway.
That was the evidence for the Crown.

Mr. M. Williams said he had to say on the part
of the defendant that after taking advice the pri-
soner came to the conclusion that his marriage in
America was invalid.

Mr. Flower said he should send the case for trial,
and before he admitted the prisoner to bail, aJudge
at Chambers would have to be consulted.
