TENTH DAY-SATURDAY, APRIL

.Elizabeth Outton was charged with the offence
of Bigamy, in having feloniousiT intermarried with
Serjeant Thompson, on the 17th day of July last,
her first husband, Thomas Outrun, being then alive.
It appeared in evidenee; that the Prisoner, 'then
Elizabeth Christie, was married to her first hus-
band, Thomas Outton, on the z..th of December,
"1792, at the Parish Church of St. Mary, White-
-chapel. It also appeared, that on the 17th day of
July last she was marrie& to her-second husband,
Serjeant Thompson; a Serjeant- of Marines, -at the
Parish Churchof Sr. Dunstan's, Stepney.
It farther appeared in'the course of the evidence,
particularly by the narrative-of the Prisoner's mo-
ther; that the first:husband. had used her very
and had more than once turned her away ; that the
Witness alluded to had, by dint of her exertions,
made interest to get him a situation at,'the East
India House, in thehope-thaf he would reform his
eondufi with respel to her•daughter, but this.Mea.
sure did not produce the intended effeift ;` he conti-
nued to use her ill, and for a length of time.previous
to her second marriage they wire separated. She
had two children by her first husband.
There were several other Witnesses ready to
prove the ill usagel3f the crisoner by her first hus-band; but the Court would not suffer them.to he
examined, observing,'that such a cormiderat ion could
have no effed upon the verdiet of the -Jury, the
charge against the Prisoner being clearly proved,
however it might operate subsequently with regard
to the mitigation of punishment.
The Jury were constrained to find a verdia of
Guilty, but recommended the Prisoner to Mercy.

Previous to his pronouncing the awful Sentence

vias, he addressed them, nearly as follows •

if Prisoners,-
lc I come at length to the discharge of the most
painful duty imposed upon inc throughout the whole
Session ; and I have most. sincerely to lament' that
so large a number of the most unfortunate Convik`ts
should be colle6ted at this Bar, to learn the most
dismal tidings that can possibly be known and cop..
municated to man, namely, that for the most
wicked and heinous crimes, the dreadful separation
of soul and body must soon take place. , After a
long and painful discussion of your .sevetal cases,
Juries of your Country haVe. been compelled, Priso-
ners, by..a sense of their duty to themselves and to
the Public, to declare you guilty of crimes to which
the Lai.; attaches the punishment of death. every
favourable circumstance, if any auchmay be found
in your several cases, shall be faithfully reported by
me to your Sovereign. I Much fear that the examples
which your punishments will afford toothers, will
not be attended with the wished for circa. Have
you not yourselves, Prisoners, committed the crimes
of which you stand conviacd, with your eyes open ?
And do you not all know, that every one who cm
--
mks such crimes is sooner or later overtaken by
.the atm of Justice, and at length compelled to pay
that just debt he owes to the ofFended Laws of his
Country liave, you not seen others suffer. by a dis-
graceful execution, for crimes like those for which
you now are about to suffer You must not, there-
fore, complain if, under such circumstances you, are
called upon by me to prepare for the worst that can
possibly befall you..
" Prisoners, I pray to God,- that all of you, upon
Lincere repentance, on your parts, of the several
crimes you have committed, the result of a life of
profligacy, and dissipation, may in the end find for-
giveness in his sight, and that you all may be placed
in a state of happiness in the world to come 1"

mem., The remaining Convils were then adjudged
