The registers of the two marriages were prodnced.
Flaxman, the second husband, proved very reluctantly
that, about a year and a half ago, he married the pri-

said, and they had an infant now at the breast.
A female witness also proved this marriage, but there
were no witnesses to prove the prisoner's identity in the
first.
The prisoner admitted her marriage with the sailor
Pritchard, and that she had three children by him ; but
she declared that, for many years, he had exceedingly
ill-used her, and that she had never received anything
from him, either fur herself or the children. Five years
ago, she said, he used her so badly, that two warrants
were issued against him from this court, but he then
went away, and she had never seen him since, until he
now came and gave her into custody.
Mr. Broughton told her that, if she had not married
again until after seven years' absence of her husband, she
would not be punished fur bigamy ; but not more than
two years elapsed when she contracted the second mar-
riage. Her own acknowledgment of the first marriage
now taken in writing, was 'sufficient, with the other
proofs, and he now committed her to take her trial for
the bigamy, admitting her to bail, however, in two sure-
ies of 401. each.

THE GAME-LAWS'_, COMMITTEE.
(From ;the League.)
The recent appointment of a Select Committee to
inquire into the operation of the game-laws, forms,
undoubtedly, an epoch in the history of British
agriculture. It is the first tenant-farmers' Committee.
It is an inquiry which tenant-farmers, to a man,
desire should be full, searching, and complete; and
it is one which nine landholders out of ten, taking
the country through, would have resisted if they had
dared, and will, if they can, render as imperfect and
inconclusive as possible. For the first time in British
history have the farmers made their own, their real
voices heard in the Legislature. There have been
Select Committees without number to inquire into
agricultural distress, but they have only been in-
tended to ascertain how reductions of rent could be

avoided without making the farmers their own mas
ters. The agricultural Committee of 1836 disclosed
the fact that all the legislation by which for two- and
twenty years landlords had professed to benefit the
farmers, had only enhanced the proprietor's rent at
the expense of the tenant's capital. From that moment
the political landlords became the most energetic op-
ponents of all inquiries into the existence and causes
of agricultural distress. It was, therefore, with some-
thing like surprise that the concession of a Committee
to inquire into the game-laws was received by the
public.
Writing as a farmer to farmers, we shall not
waste a line on the supererogatory task of showing
that the game-laws constitute one of the greatest
and most hopeless burdens by which, amongst many
others, the tenant-farmers are oppressed. That is
an agricultural axiom. Nobody denies it, except
such madcap reasoners as Mr. Grantley Berkeley,
who unconsciously demonstrate just the contrary of
that they wish to prove, having all the value of
most unwilling witnesses. There is no doubt that
the inquiry will be an effective one. But we ask
the tenantry of Great Britain how this has been
brought about ? Has it originated with the " Cen-
tral Society for the Protection of British Agricul-
ture 7" Is it due to the indomitable perseverance
of Mr. William Miles or Mr. George Bankes ?
Does it result from influence, the disinterested in-
fluence of the Duke of Richmond at the Treasury ?
Has the Duke of Buckingham at length proved him-
self in deed as well as in name the "farmers'
friend ?" To each of these queries every farmer must
say, no! not There is not a man amongst the active
protectionists, the self-designated " farmers' friends,"
who would not have shirked or burked the inquiry
if he could. Fancy the faces of the eighty squire-
archal Members of the House of Commons who as-
sembled at Sir Robert Peel's on the morning of
the day when the Committee was agreed to !
Imagine what they must have felt when plainly told
by the Prime Minister, doubtless in the blandest
terms, that an inquiry into game-laws and game-
preserving was inevitable ! How, then has all
this been brought about ? Hares, pheasants, and
rabbits, might have devoured the substance and
impoverished the family of every tenant-farmer in the
kingdom, so long as rent eould have been levied out
of his capital, before the landowners would have
moved in furtherance of such an inquiry. Who,
then, has proved to be the "farmers' friend ?" No
other than John Bright, one of the dreaded cham-
pions of the League. The efforts of the League
throughout the country, and the tact, eloquence, and
intellectual power of a few Free-Traders in Parlia-
ment, have obtained this first instalment of justice
for the tenant-farmers. They, whose very names
have been used by the monopolist landowners to
scare the tenantry from all investigation of the
causes of agricultural depression, have been the
only public men who have ever obtained a public
measure unquestionably advantageous to the class of
tenant-farmers. His Grace of Richmond made ap-
parently a great stir for the sake of the farmers, but
it all ended in a seat at the Treasury for his own
brother. Buckingham's devotion to the cause of the
suffering agriculturists has procured him a blue
riband and a diamond bauble for himself. While
Miles and Bankes are talking of making sham
motions—at the very mention of which even the land-
owning House of Commons laughs outright, and by
which they know they can get nothing but a minority
of about seventy or eighty of the most imbecile
Members in the House—Bright the Leaguer obtains
a Committee on the Game Laws with the lip ap-
proval of those who, by that inquiry, will be put upon
their trial.
Farmers, who are your friends ? Are those who
delude you with false promises and illusory expecta-
tions, or are those who, telling you some home truths,
go at once to a practical examination of your admitted
grievances, your real friends ?
The most rabid monopolists begin to note this as a
sign of the times. Thus the New Farmer's Journal

says :
" We sincerely rejoice in the appointment of the Com-
mittee, and, although by no means disposed to deny Mr.
Bright his full share of credit for having obtained it, we
may perhaps be pardoned for expressing our regret that
the matter was not first taken up by some agricultural
representative. Are we also to be indebted to a free
trader for a committee of inquiry into the causes of the
present distressed state of agriculture ?"
As surely as the game-law inquiry was obtained by
the exertions of the Free-Traders, so certainly will
any effective inquiry into the " distressed state of
agriculture " be procured by means of the League.
So the Morning Post :
" In districts where the rural peasantry are suffering
from want of employment and destitution, it is mere
madness to suppose that the game-preserving systtm can
be kept up by severity of law. If men be idle and
hungry, they certainly will attempt to catch the wild
animals on which they may feed. Let proprietors, there-
fore, look carefully to the condition of the people on their
estates, and try to give them something better to do than
poaching."
And what makes men idle in the rural districts,
but the slovenly cultivation induced by the corn-laws
and game-laws, and the consequent vassalage of
yearly tenant-farmers
The great object of farmers now must be to make
the ir.quiry as complete as possible, and the best
mode of doing so will be for those farmers who
have had opportunities of noticing the evils caused
by game-preserving and the game-laws—and what
farmer has not had far, far too many such ?—to
communicate to Mr. Bright, as chairman of the
Committee, the substance of the evidence they can
give. Witnesses summoned by the Committee will
have their expenses paid ; so that, by the devotion of
a few hours to this most important question, farmers
may help to remove the most cruel remnant of feudal
bar barism by which they and their labourers are op-
pressed and degraded. Farmers should come pre-
pared to show the whole bearings of the game-laws,
for already are there indications that the squires
think of giving up their special law as regards hares
and rabbits, and retaining it for the preservation of
pheasants and partridges. But this will never do.
Hares and rabbits are at present more complained of
than pheasants and partridges, because they are a
degree, only a degree, less destructive. The
minor is sunk in the major. But what is
the fact ? We knew that overwhelming evi-
dence of the vast injury done to grain crops,
in every stage from seed time to harvest, by pheasants
in particular, will be offered to the Committee ; and
we know also that farmers and their men will be sub-
ject to espionage and entrapment by gamekeepers as
much for the sake of winged as of four-footed game.
The abolition of the game- laws must be entire, and if
the farmers who give evidence will state all the facts
within their knowledge the result of the inquiry must
be the TOTAL REPEAL OF ALL GAAIE-LAWS. Now
is an occasion when farmers' clubs should be rendered
realities by the introduction of this topic, and by de-
puting some one of their body to give evidence before
the Committee. Farmers must begin to think and
act for themselves. They should form societies to
discuss their real grievances, and they should support
each other in firm and business-like demands for their
removal. There is no other body of capitalists who
would `submit to be devoured in detail as the farm.ers
have been by the rent-loving landlords ; and nothing
