day of this marriage, when Mrs. broliglit 1
anti ,;,t•
friends received certain information that j„ne, h.:
a former wife yet alive. It became
the defire of thole who were concerned fm.
welfare of Mils Drought, to detach her from
Man who had betrayed her fit badly. Jones, n.);
content with his firft crime, haratfA Mrs.
and her friends with virus and letters,
cioufly claiming Mifs D. as his wife. Mifs
herfelf, entertaining an affedion the moil ;;;1,
cere and ardent for the prifoner, was afiliacd
by
the difcovery of his perfidy and impoilure, tvca
to the entire alienation of her mind, It became
netelfary to commit her to the care of a keeper of
a private madlionfe, for the reception or perfi,s
in that unhappy fituation. Even after this eveilt
the prifoner had the inhumanity to fr'llow her t:
the place of her retreat, where he, with ontra7e
again demanded her as his wife. Thus harit(lli
her friends had no choice 'but to commence ti
prefent profecution. •
The Rev. Mr. Pickeriag produced the records
of the church of Paddington, in which the mu..
ii.tge of the prifoner with Mils Drought was re.
pittered. lie law the prifoner at lac bar fr:r the
tint time, on the id of o‘clOher lad, when he per

to meet Jones, for the purport: of their matriata
at the fame church, but had been difelppointa

By crnfs quel tun‘
to Mr. Halloway, he endeavoured, but

He becattle there intimately connected with Mrs.
Drought, who came into confinement for a debt
to a mantra-maker. She was for a month his fel;
low prifoner. He joined her in a note to th,
mantra maker, upon the fecurity of which ih
was !cleated. He was, within a month after, f.
at liberty himfelf. Mifs D.'s infinuations and fol
citations extorted from hint, when he was fear,
in his right fenfes, an unwary promife of ir..o

folemn engagement. It was an engagement, at
of which he has thought tl e. leis ferioufly, as Mi
Drought had before been notorioutiv.a woman
the town. His defence was made with very inch
cent forwardnefs acrd prefumption. The Jul
found him—Guilty.
And fix were acquitted. ,
gobs Blake and his wife, and a woman of the
name of Mary Robiebn, were tried for burglariouf-
ly entering the dwelling houfe of—.,- Fletcher,
of Btthaal Green, on the tSth of September, and
(leafing therefrom fume plate, a cloak belonging.
to Mrs. Fletcher, and feveral other articles, his.
property.
The profecutor and his wife fully proved that
tile houfe was properly fecured on the morning
wiun the burglary was committed, and both lwo:e
to the loci of the articles fpeci•fied in the indintlient,.
feveral of which, found in Blake's lodginzs, were
identified in Court.
The officers employed in fearching the houftrr
the prifoner Robinfon, with whom Blake 1 feat
proved that Blake claimed thefe articles as pfo-
perty, but this Blake denied in his defence: -
thing in the evidence brought home guilt tp,
Blake's wife, or to the prifoner Robinfon. Muck
ground of fufpicion there ceitainly was again
Blake, inafmuch as the articles fpecified in the in.
di&ment were found in his lodgings. As there
was, however, flu a poflibility that he might cr.l3-
have been the receiver, and not aaually
f;uatr at
the burglary, the Jury found all the three prai-
ners Not Guilty.
Blake was tried on another inditirernt; for ilea,
ing 181 b. of mutton, the property of john Cooper.
On this charge he was a,lfil aenlkilAL.
