DUBLI4\', DEC. 17.

Two eaufes of a fingular nature, have been tried
at Limerick lately in the Confiftorial Conic, before
the Rev. Jona HOARE, Vicar General of that
Dine& : The tanks were nearly Radler.
The libel in each cafe was againft there Felons
for perjury, in an ecclefiaflical carafe, oil for
canting a marriage to be folemnized knowing that
the firil hufband was living. The parties were the'
woman whole firfl hufband is alive, the worrian!s,
father who gave her away each tithe in rnat riage,
knowing her firfl hufband to be living • aud
.02e
nerfon who got married to her, and.wh,o knew of
this canonical impediment. In each cafe die licence
was taken out in the maiden name cif the woman,
that lets furpicion might be excited, and the 94t11
adminitlered to the parties and taken by them was,
that at the time of granting the licence, there was
no pre.contrat, pee.engagmenl., or any legal
;mpedintent whatfoever, to their knOwledge or
belief.
The libel, in the &ft cafe, being fully fupport-
ed, and the teßimony being perfedly fatisfaelory
to the Court, the parties were fcnteoced to the
greater excommunication forcanfing the marriage
to be folernnized under fuch circunances, and to
be feparated from Inch illegal marriage ; to do, pe-
nance at the difcretion of the Court for the perjury,
and to pay fuch coils as. Would be decreed.
While the parties remain wader the fentence of
excommunication, they are not capa,ble of fuing
at law for any debt; their oath cannot be admitted
in any Court of jullice; they cannot make a Will;
and if they remain under fentence for 4o days, on
an application to :he King in Chancery, a writ is
ifrued to the Sheriffs to commit the offendets to '
the common gaol, till fatisfadition be Made to the
Ecclefiallical Power, and all coils be paid. The
fecond caufe is Rill before the tl,"..ourt.

Yelierday morning was taken into euflody by
the officers of Bow-Areet, on a charge of houfe-
breaking, Leonard White and Llppia Willie. In the
apartments of the latter, in aty-la-bonne, were
found a quantity of picklock keys, ironcrows, and
implements for bottfe-breaking.

Tuefday afternoon, a glazier, .cleaning a gen-
tleman's two pair of (lairs window, in )3road-Rreet,
behind the Royal Each:lnge, fell upon the iron
railings, when tome of the (pikes ,entered his
groin. He was taken to the hofpited without
hopes of recovery.
A few nights finer, Mr. Blanchard, of Norwood,
was robbed of what money he had about him, by
three footpads, on Herne-hill, Lambeth, one of
whom he knocked down, but being oyerpowered
by the other two, they (thinking that he had Come
knowledge of them) drew a knife, and propofed
cutting his throat. Their intentions, however,
were fruftrated, by a man on horfeback coming
up at the time, when the villains made a precipi-
tate retreat.
A few nights Gnce, the hoar of Mr. W. Mor-
ten, in Ameribam, Buckinghandhire, was broke
open, and robbed of black and white lace, to the
amount of Boa two bags of calls to a coufiticreble

A few nights ago, a melancholy eve* occurred
at a foundety upon the Tyne. The atbes and re-
fufe of the foundery had been heaped up again(l
the end of the dwelling-houfe of a workman, which
was flowed near the works. Through a crevice
in the wall, which had not been obferved, a vapour
infinuated itfelf, which deteriorated the air of the
houfe fo much, that it became unfit for refpira•
tion, and the family, four or five in number, were
apparently fuffocated. They all, however, recd.
vered, except one. The workman to whom the
houfe belongs had left it about twelve o'clock at
night, to go to his work, and, providentially-, had
OCCA lion to return to the houfe about three o'clock
in the morning, when, after breaking open the door,
lie found his family in the sate ahoce dcfcribed..
This accidental return fared the furvieCtii.
