.TILE CONVICT SMET.HU.RS7'.

The greatest surprise was created this morning
by the semi-official announcement that Dr.
Smethurst, whose fate has so long been a matter of
speculation, would be brought before the magi-
strate sitting at the Southwark Police-court on a
charge of bigamy.
The paragraph in question did not positively an-
nounce t hat a pardon, or any commutation of the
sentence of death, would be extended to the pri-
soner; and in official quarters all answers to ques-
tions whether, in the event of the charge of
bigamy breaking down, the prisoner would be re-
stnred to liberty, were politely declined.
Consistently, however, with the announcement,

the prisoner, Thomas Smethurst, was this day, at
half-past -twelve, placed at the bar before Mr.
Combe, the Southwark magistrate, charged as fol-
lows :—For that he, one Thomas Smethurst, on the
9th of Dec(mber last, within this district, did un-
lawfully and feloniously intermarry with one Isa-
bella Bankcc., his wife Mary being then alive.
The interior of the court was densely crowded,
and great e reitement prevailed. At the time above
mentioned the prisoner was brought into the
justice-room. by Mr. Keen*, the governor of Horse-
monger-lane gaol, in obedience to a special warrant
forwarded to him from the Secretary of State for
the Home Department to do so.

Smethurst wore a black cloth Chesterfield over-
coat, closely buttoned up to the throat, a black
satin stock and kid gloves. In personal appearance
he has not undergone any marked change; the
only difference observable was that he was some-
what paler than whew he last appeared in public.
His brother,Mr.James S methurst,occupied a position
very close to him, and after exchanging a few
hasty words with him and another gentleman
close by, he assumed his usual calm appearance.
Mr. Clarke, the barrister, instructed by Mr.
Pollard, the solicitor to the Treasury appeared
for the prosecution, and Mr. Robinson, of
Half Moou-street, Piccadilly, appeared for the do.
fence.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--MILS DA Y.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.)
APPEAL-ZUDGMENT-PIGGOT T. STRATTON.

bound by the covenant contained in the original lease, not-
withstanding surrender, and granting an injunction re-
straining the appellant from building on the lands a row
of houses, sub-let, obstructing the sea-view from houses
built by the plaintiff on the sea-shore at Ryde, Isle of

Their lordships affirmed the order of the Vice• Chan-
cellor, and dismissed the appeal with costs.
