LAMBETH.

Mr. Henry Page, a master bricklayer, was brought
before Mr. Elliott for further examination. charged with
adminiverincr rison to his alleged wife; also with inter-
marrying with Mrs. Mary Ann Clarke, a married winer,
his former ::ire being then and now living. The said
Mary Ann Clarke was also charged with iroermaroing
with Henry Page, the above-mentineed prkoner, her
former husband being then and now living.
The circumstances of this case are most extraordi-
nary, and the offence was brought to light in a very
singular manner. Information was given to the police
about ten days ago that the prisoner Page had adminis-
tered poison to his wife, whose life at that time was
despaired of. Page was taken into custody on the charge,
and in the meantime it was ascertained that both the
prisoners had been previously married; the woman mar-
ried Mr. Clarke eight years ago, but frequently absented
herself from his house as long as three weeks at a time.
On Wednesday fortnight she left Clarke's house, and did
not return until the Friday. when she appeared quite mad,
and it was with oinsiderable difficulty that she could be
restored. When her senses were sufficiently returned
she betel into tears in the presence of Clarke (her first
husband) and exclaimed, " I have a great burden on my
mind. I was married to Page, it Poplar Church, on the
10th of February, 1848." Clarke (her husband) said
she was in a sane state of mind when she mate that
ssatement; that ho had seen her in Page's company seve•
nil times, and had given him a sound thrashing when-
ever he met them. Being informed that Page bad admi•
nistered poison t 3 her, he gave information to the police
and had him apprehended.
Donald Brims, the constable who apprehended Page,
said, that he called on the female prisoner immediately
afterwards. tShe then told him that she was married to
page, and that he placed some drug iii her drink while
in a coffee-house near Newington Church. As soon
as she was sufficiently recovered he apprenended her
for intermarrying with him, her former husband being
then living,
Mr. ELLloT—lave you any evidence respecting the
double marriages? Brims—l have some witnesses pre-
sent who can give evidence.
Maria Nash, a widow, was first called, and stated that
she was pres-nt at Lambeth old church in the latter
part of 1842, when she saw the female prisoner married
to Andrew Clarke. Witness's husband was also a wit-
ness to the marriage.
Martha Page, the mother of the .male prisoner, said
she was present when he married Ellen Regan at St.
John's Church, Waterloo-road, on the 6th of April, 1834.
The constable produced a copy of the re dater relative
to the last marriage, signed by me Rev. Mr. Irvine the
minister, and two witnesses.
Mr. ELLIOTT asked the constable whether he had the
registers of the other marriages?
The officer replied in the negative; he had not had
sufficient time to get them.
Mr. ELLIOTT —I shall remand the prisoners until
M,nday next, when I expect you will have all the evi-
dence to complete the case.
Mr. Soloman, who appeared for Page. said ha did not
obj. et to a remand, as his client courted the fullest in-
y.
The prisoners were then remanded.
