BIGAMY.

philift Fatty was indicted for bigamy in felon:ously
marrying' a second time, his former v.ife being still

living.
Mr. Ctitwoon, as Counsel for the prosecution,
stated the facts of the cast. The prisc-ner married a

young woman of the name of Griggs; at Bury St.
Edmund's, in Suffolk, in the year 1783. He left her
a short time afterwards, and in the year 1795 he mar-
ried a widow, who kept a small shop in the Borough.
He left her to go with his regiment to Ireland, he
being a Serjeant in the army, and was lately disco-
vered residing in the Park, as one of the keepers,
with a third family. The registers of the two mar-
riages were then put in and proved, and that the for-
mer wife was still living.
For the prisoner, an Officer in the West Suffolk
Militia, proved that he had always borne a most ex-
emplary character, that he was promoted to be a
Quarter-master in the regiment, and Lord Euston in
consideration of his uniform good behaviour, had ap-
pointed him a Park-keeper ; that his wife had teen
drummed out of the regiment, and had not been heard
of for many years.
The prisoner declared that he believed his first
wife to be dead, not hearing from her many years,
and knowing that she was in the habit of excessive
drinking.
The Learned Judge observed, that the extent of
his offence was, that he had acted with too little cau-
tion in not making more accurate inquiries after his
first wife. He should therefore sentence him but to a
ntdd punishment, which was, that he should pay a
fine of Is. and be imprisoned for one month. In this
case, the prisoner got into this awkward situation ra-
ther curiously. His first wife had also married again,
and her last husband finding that she had been mar-
ried before, and wishing to get rid of her, discovered
the prisoner, and took him to Union Hall, as a wit-
ness against his former wife ; when the whole secret
coming out, the tables were turaed, and he was him-
self committed for the bigamy.
There are two murders is the Kalendar, one of
which is expected to occupy several hours. The Judge
therefore posponed them until Monday morning ; and
having finished the other prisoners, he passed sentence
of Death on seven prisoners, but immediately inti-
mated he should reprieve all, except Donohough for
the rape, whom he seriously exhorted to prepare for
execution.

COLCHESTER WATZRAVORICS.-•:ThiS Work of Art is now
brought from the great Reservoir at the bottom of Balkerne-
lane, without the walls, to the summit level of the town, at the
top of North-Hill, Irons whence the main pipe branches three
ways, viz. Head-street, High-street, and North hill, for serving
the 15 parishes; the water is forced about 100 feet from the
lower to the upper level by means of a powerful Patent simpli-
fied Steam Engine. These are certainly the completest Water
Works of this kind in the kingdom, as a slight description will
evince. The great Reservoir is principally made with-mounds of
earth, containing 12 feet depth of water; round the tops of those
mounds or banks are elegant gravel walks, thrown open to the
Public; in the centre of this Reservoir is a beautiful fountain,
which throws the water to a considerable height—the Reservoir
is teal by seven soft transparent springs arising from its bottom;
the whole of the Reservoir can, at any period, be emptied by
drawing up a considerable valve at the bottom constructed for
that purpose, which lets it run into the River Comm. The Engine
douse, which is built with turrets round it, in the Castle Style,
has a pleasing effect, on the centre turret nearest the Reservoir is
an excellent cut figure in the dress of a London Fireman, with
a fire-engine branch in his hand, from whence at pleasure issues
a beautiful jet of water into the Reservoir ; this device has a
most elegant and pleasing effect. Attached to the works below
the Reservoir, adjoining the Engine-house, is a spacious Cold
Bath, also Warm, and Vapour Baths, with a tasteful Cottage,
Rei.dingisrisom for the use of company using the Baths, much to
tho credit and ingenuity of Mr. Donn, the Projector, and exe-
cutor of those Works; the whole described has been done in less
than a twelvemonth. We should have observed before that the
l'atent Pipes, through which the water passes, are manufactured
from iron, internally lined with artificial stone, so that the wa-
ter is kept perfectly sweet, as if passing through glass or china
tubes, which is an excellent invention, as serious objections arise
both from wood and iron pipes for passing water, the wood
produces a fungus, which taints and spoils the water, and the
sulphate of linse, or even calcareous qualities, which most wa-
ters more or less possess, causes iron pipes to oxidate or rust,
thereby making tha water teruginous, and rendering it not so fit
for domestic purposes, and even in some cases unhealthy.—Froess
the Chelmsford Ch, snide.

Madame LENOIR'S new publication, under the
title of Clara de Monffirr, is in high estimation. The
numenous characters are pleasingly introduced to the
reader's acquaintance, with interesting anecdotes,
mingled with poetic effusions. The hospitality of
Baron de Montfier, as exercised towards an. English
traveller (Mr. Forrest) is a just trib•ite ; whilst the
latter insinuates himself by his characteristic qualities,
and forms a prominent feature in the Work. The
narrative, under the title " St. Domingo," in the se-
cond volume, is truly affecting—the extraordinary
marriage with which it is coupled truly interesting ;
and not less so the rencontre between Louiset, Hen-
riot, and Jeanette, and all the adventures of the
Cavern. The scene then changes to ,Paris, and a
lively picture is drawn of the frivolities of the elegantes
of fashion, leading to a termination (as all ♦anities
do) in vexation of spirit. The truest uniformity of
character to be found is in Mr. Forrest, who is re-
warded by the hand of Clara, and who has at length
the happiness of requiting the hospitality he expe-
riences at Montfier's, by affording in England an
asylum to the family driven from Montfier at the time
of the French Revolution. . The work winds up with
the Life of Du Hamel : it is replete with moral and
religious sentiments, and breathes throughout a be-
nevolent mind and heart.
