MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—On Weincsday last, a
Klan named Richard Phillips was brought to this office on
a charge of bigamy, and having undergone a preliminary
examination, was remanded tots future day, to give time
ifee the complainant, who is the brother of the alleged first
wife, to produce the necessary evidence to substantiate the
charge.
The prisoner', it seems, has been employed in the Ord-
nance Department of the 'rower of London, and being a
freeman of the city of
.13feb/ins is an active partisan in the
interest of Sir Henry Hardint7c,‘ of whose London Cone -
rnittee, sitting at the Blue Post,
in the Haymarket, he
was a member, and from the midst or" which lie was taken
into custody upon this charge.
On Saturday Colonel Wood, M.P., came to this office,
and stated to Mr. CoNerer, the sitting Magistrate, that it,
was very etrungly believed the arrest of the prceoner on the
charge on which he is detained was a mere elect:oneering
trick to deprive the interests of Sir Henry Hardinge of the
benefit of his vote and exertions as a freeman of Durhane. at
the approaching election, and that no real grounds were
eapposed to exist for the accusation against the man.
Mr. Cosa Ye, who happened not to be the Magistrate
before whom the Jest was heard on the former day, was
the charge might rest, and, ie. satiefy himself on this Lead,
not in possession of the Cxtent of the ground upon which
he sent for the complainant, the- brother of the prisoner's
first wife, and also a Durham freet:l3", who was to be
found at a Durham house, called the Three Tuns, an
linpert-street, Haymarket, where the Com.-nittee, in the
interests of Colonel Chaytor, the other cane, 'late, bold
their sittings, and on his arrival the Magistrate - closely
questioned bins as to the real nature of the charge, 2.1.'d its
extent against the man in custody, when he gave so clear
au account of the grounds on which he charged the pri-
soner with bigamy and extreme ill-treatment of his cave
complainant's) sister, whom, with three young children,
the prisoner left chargeable to a parish at Durham, ltaviag
entirely deserted them there three years ago, and had not
been since met with until he was firmed upon Sir Hcmy
Henry Hardingee committee in the Haymarket, that Dlr.
Conant said there was no just reason whatever for suppos-
ing the accusation to be an electioneering trick, and he
could not, therefore, at all consider it in that ligiet.
Colonel 'Wood inquired of the Magistrate if bail might
not be accepted for the prisoner's appearance to meet the
charge.
Mr. Core/see said that the charge being one of felony,
hail could not he accepted ; and Colonel Wood retired.
The prisoner's examination is next appointi‘d for Wed-
nesday, cud the Durham election commences this day; ee
that if even discharged, lie will be too late for the fun.
Charles Smith, a coachman in the service of a lady
named Pigou, residing in Wimpole-street, was brought to
the office charged with obstructing the public way, -and
assaulting Schofield, one of the of:Leers belonging to this
office.
The evidence of the officer was anti: rued by several wit-
neeese who saw the transaction. and the Megistrate fined
the defendant 10s., under the Highway Act, ared the cost!,
but told the Offieer he might proceed against. the eleentlant
fur the assault if he pleased. - ..
Schofield sail that he had no vindictive feeling against
the defendant.
The defendant then paid the fine, and was discharged.

with desertion and bigamy.
The MAGISTRATE having inquired of M. Coulthart, one
of the overseers, which of these two charges they intended
to prefer against the prisoper,
Mr. Coulthart replied that it it was the earnest swish of
the pariah to prosecute him on that of bigamy, but (hey had
not now at hand the witnesses necessary to commit him
upon that charge, his second wife being resident in Bristol.

Here, a yontlaful-looking, though care-worn female',
whose maiden name was Blaria Lloyd Roberts, came for-
ward and stated that she 'wit. the prisoner's first wife, hav-
ing been married to him on the 17th of August, nearly I 1
ears ago, at the church of Paddington. He was then s
printer, residing in Wilsted-street, Somers' Town, but had
afterwards given up that trade, and adopted the
employment of a paper stainer, by which ho bag
since obtained his livelihood. In the course of Light

at last he reaelved on marrying again, and would certainly
have done so three years ago, had she not received inti-
mation of it, and by producing her own certificate to the
parties, at that time put an effectual bar to it. Upon
this, throwing off every restraint, he quitted her entirely.
and twelve months after privately married at Fulham
church a female of the name of Jane Davis, with whom
lie then left London, and they had since resided together
in Bristol. She had, she raid, a certificate of this second
marriage now in her possession.
Kinipton, the officer, had seen the second wife • at
Bristol, and had a conversation with her upon the subject
of her marriage with the prisoner. She admitted it, and
assured hias that she would conic up to London in order
to prosecute the prisoner to conviction.
The prisoner denied the charge, and asserted that Jane
Davis had a husband now living with her in Bristol.
Mr. LAING ordered him to find bail.

fore the Magistrates, Mrassrs. LAING and RoGEts, as prin-
cipal informer in a case iu which Mr. Elstone, of the
White Bear, Back-hill, Leather-lane, was the defendarn.
His witneas was Essex, the baker, the nephew of Johnston

deposed, that on Wednesday night last, at twenty Minutes
after twelve o'clock, he saw two females go into the de-
fendant's house; he followed them ; they called for and
received a quartern of gin, and he had a pipe and tobacco.
Mr. RocEus—Plow do you know it was twenty minutes
past It o'clock. Essex--13y my watch.
Mr. ROG grts—Lct me see your watch. Essex--I ha
it not about me.
Mr. RocEas—Will you swear you hate a watch at all
Es-sex—Yes I will—but the one I had on the night in ques-
tion was not my own, it was a borrowed one.
Mr. Elstone denied the charge, and produced his .bat
irvud, who deprised that she recollected the informer's wit-
ness corning into her master's house with two females : she
nerved them with a quartern of giu, and a pipe of tobacco.
The time was exactly 10 minutes to 12 o'clock, and not 21)
