OLD BAILEY, APRIL 1.5.

George Foyle.; aged 36, was indicted for having
married Ann Deary, his former wife being then
living.
The prisoner, it appeared, had been known and
committed by the name of Ramscar.
Henry Smith is the parish clerk of Chardle, in the
county of Chester. He knew the prisoner personally
before his marriage with Mary Hibbert, which took
place at the church of the parish aforesaid, on the
16th of Marc, 1824. They were married accord-
ing to the formula of the Church of England; but
whether the marriage was ..consummated he could
not tell.

COURT—Did they live together as man and wife ?
—They appeared to do so, and a child was born in
consequence.

COURT.—WeII, that looks like an answer to the
previous question.

Prisoner—l am not the same man.
A witness produced a copy of the " marriage
lines." The certificate ran thus :
" This is to certify, that George Eamscar and Mary
Ilibbcrt were married in the church of Chardle, on the
Itith day of March, 1824.
" MATTHEW DUNN, Minister."

Ann Deary, the prosecutrix, a person of respect-
able appearance, stated, that on the 19th of No-
vember, 1526, she was married to the prisoner, at
the parish church of St. James, Westminster. She
had known him eight or nine months previous. She
was a widow with one child at that time, and had a
house well furnished. The prisoner described him-
self as having respectable connexions at Stockport.
She was obliged to • separate from him six weeks
after the marriage, in consequence of ill treatment.
Prisoner.—My Lord, she began to be jealous of
another woman.

Witness.—My Lord, the fact is, he lived with
another woman close by.
This, and a further detail of the prisoner's conduct
towards her, appeared to excite considerable com-
misseration.

The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict
of Guilty.

Mr. .ergeant ARABIN would not impede the
progress of business by passing sentence instanter,
but the prisoner tight rest assured that at the end
of the sessions he would be ordered to be transportk
beyond the seas for the term of seven years.

Mr. HALL, solicitor, of Saffron, Walden, a
few days previous to his death, went to London, and, ac-
cording to hia usual custom, took up his abode at the
Gray's Inn Coffee-house. From thence he went to walk
in Kensington-gardens, where he was suddenly:seized with
an apoplectic fit, which deprived him of the use of his fa-
culties. in that state he was searched, but nothing was
kind about his person which could give a clue to who or
what he was. In his hat was written the name of
THOMAS Haar, and the hat being made at CuarsTv's, in
Gracechurch-street, it was thought probable by some
humane persons on the spot, that by carrying him thither
his connexions might be traced. He was accordingly sent
in a hackney-coach, but no one there could identify him.
A shopman, however, said they had an old and respectable
customer at Saffron Walden, of the name of HALL, but
that he did not know Ilia person, which could probably he
recognised at Lord BnAvnrtooKes, who has a seat near
Walden, as well as a house in town. To the latter Mr.
HALL was carried, but none of the servants could recog-
nise him, and he was finally removed to the Middlesex
Hospital. fly judicious treatment and good management,
in two days he sufficiently recovered to resume his old
quarters at the Gray's Inn Coffee-house. Some of his
friends, to whom his mysterious absence became known,
had come to town to seek him, and their joy at finding
him comparatively well nay he imagined. '1 hey prevailed
on him to accompany them back to Walden, where in three
days he was seize 4 with :mother attack, which terminated
almost immediately his life. Mr. ',CALL was for many
years an Alderman of Saffron Walden, and much respected
by an extensive circle of acquaintances and friends,
