BIGAMY AND ADULTERY.—Mrs. Charlotte Gilmore, a
well-dressed woman, about 27 years of age, and dwelling
at No. 4, Ernest-street West, Beaumont-square, Stepney,
applied to Mr. Selfe for a warrant to apprehend her hus
band, Richard Gilmore, for bigamy.
The applicant stated that her husband abandon3d her
seven years ago, and went to Australia. He returned
about six weeks ago, in the ship Monarch, and brought
with him to England a second wife, whom he had married
in Australia.

Mr. Selfe—How do you know that?
Mrs. Gilmore said the people in the ship in which her
husband came home told her her husband was married in
Australia. He was now living with his second wife.
Inspector Kenessey, of the K division, said the woman
and her husband came to the station-house last night and
she gave him in charge for bigamy. He made every possi-
ble inquiry and could not obtain any evidence whatever of
the second marriage. There was nothing but hearsay evi-
dence, and consequently he could not enter the charge or
detain the man. The husband said he left his wife for her
infidelity, and that he caught her inflagranto delicto com-
mitting adultery with another man.
Mrs. Gilmore—lt is false, he did not.

Inspector Kenessey—You aro now cohabiting with an-
other man, and have been doing so for some time.
Mr. Selfe—ls that so, woman ?

Mrs. Gilmore—Yes, sir; only for the last six months I
have been living with another man. What was Ito do
when I was deserted so long by my husband ?
Mr. Selfe—The inspector has acted perfectly right. You
cannot demand a maintenance from your husband. You
have no claim upon him whatever, for you have committed
adultery.
Inspector Kenessey—ller husband said last night he had
no objection to allow his wife £2O per annum.
Mr. Selfe—He may do as he likes about that.
Mrs. Gilmore—Surely, my husband ought to support his
two children.

Mr. Selfe—Yes, he can be compelled to maintain his
children. I cannot interfere in the case, but if you can
obtain legal evidence of your husband's second marriage
you may give him into custody if you think proper.
Mrs. Gilmore said she was an ill-used woman., and left
the court.

THE ANTICIPATED BUILDERS' STRIKE.
Earl GRANVILLE wished to make an explanation with
respect to what he said the other evening, and which
appeared to have been misunderstood. He considered it
advantageous that the . old combination laws amongst
workmen had been abolished. He had no hesitation in
saying that was an arbitrary act, which permitted the com-
bination of workmen for legitimate purposes of defending
their rights ; but when workmen combined for the purpose
of exercising an unjust influence over the operatives
of trade ; above all, when in the slightest de-
gree they exercised compulsion over their fellow-work-
men, he considered their conduct to be unjustifiable. Every
workman should be left quite free to assert, his own rights
for himself. He wished it to he clearly understood
in anything that fell from him in favour of the combination
among workmen referred in no way to the strike expected
amongst the builders, which he considered utterly unjusti-
fiable.
