BIGAMY.—At the London Sessions, the Rzcortmat
stated the law on this subject, as follows:—It is not
necessary that the first marriage should be in this coun-
try, to con'titute bigamy, provided it has been solem-
nized according to the rites of the place where it was
contracted ; but if the second marriage has been con-
tracted out of the country, no indictment for bigamy
will lay.—Such a marriage in Scotland or Ireland, how-
ever punishable there, would not be an offence that an
English Jury could take cognizance of.

HORRIBLE CRIME IN SWITZERLAND.—A crime so
execrable, that it is difficult to believe it to have been
the work of a human being, has been committed in the
village of Walperschweil, in the canton of Berne, two
leagues from Arberg. The perpetrator is a man of 60
years of age, who has been for some time known for his
revolting immorality. Having suddenly conceived the
idea of proceeding to America, he demanded money
from his wife, whom he supposed to possess property ;
being denied, he addressed his claim to the Commune,
which also refused to sanction it. These refusals filled
him with the most horrible projects of revenge. After
having inhumanly assassinated his wife, he contem-
plated the destruction of the village by fire, and suc-
ceeded but too well. His preparations were made with
skill, and in the night of the 30th of August twenty-five
houses were burned to the ground. The wretch has
escaped, but the police are at his heels.
