CROWN SIDE.
Jame: Knish was indicted for rilgatny, in mtrryi
a second wife, his former wife being still living.
It was proved that in May, 1301, he marred
first wife, who wasnow lining, and that in the Aug!
of the same year he marries his second wife.
On crossdexamindition by Mr. Coliwonci, it 'cat
out, that his first Wife being pregnant, he was corn,
mitted to prison as father of the child, and that
parish compelled him to marry bet. As soon as .
came from Church he left her, and never cohabited
with her afterwards, but that he had constantly li
with his second wife, by whom he had a family whom
he maintained.

Lord ELLENnostouGH reprobited the conduct
the parish, as being, in part the cause of the cri
committed by the defendant ; but At the same ti
he told the prisoner his offence was not extenulL
towards the woman whom he had deluded by a sq.
posed marriage; and the wrong done her off.pring
was very serious, inasmuch as it deprived them et •
rights of legitimacy. But in apportioning his
ntshment he should not forget the wrong done to
prisoner himself by the constrained marriage forced
upon him by the parish. He therefore only sentenced
him to one year's imprisonment.
The business in both Courts being finished,
Assizes ended at seven o'clock.

SUFFOLK.
1101011. SON, CLERK,- v. JElthaVe MAY. AND GOMM
This was an action to recover damages for the 7
jury sustained by the Plaintiff's character, from
following Libel:
" The Rev. J. Rubinson and Mr. James Robinette, inhatitstits
of this town, nut being persons tlrtt the Ploprietufs or -
Annual Subscribers think fit to atm/claw with, are excluded
this room."
These words were contained in the Resolution hpng
up in a public room at Southwold, called the Casinn,
as also in a circular book, containing the names e'
the Suscribers.
Mr. Serjeant Fart; in a speech of consideraL
length, recapitulatid a long correspondence between
the Defendant Jermyn and Dr. Marsh, recpec'
the character of the Plaintiff, in which the Deferk
characteriged the Plaintiff as obnoxious to almost
every individual in Southwold. and a species of
cast from their society.
After several witnesses had been examined to
the Libel on the Defendants, die Chief Baron adv 7
the Plaintiff's Counsel to accept a nonsuit, the
evidence of the Defendants having put up the
being the taking it down.
Mr. Serjeant FREIIE said, o we have more evidence
my Lord," upon which the. CHIEF BARON obsei-
" Go on, let Mr. Ri.binson expose himself as much
as he pleases."
In summing up the evidence the ClllEr BARON
served, that the Plaintiff had the misfortune to be
noxious to almost every individual in Southwold,
that every society had a right to exclude.whocn
please, but this should be done in such a way as
law allows; this, he thought, had not been observed
in the instance before him. The Jury had, therefore,
to consider the injury the Plaintiff had sustained.
The Jury gavea verdict against Jermyn and Gooch
(nothing appearing to implicate May), of 450.
The CHIEF BARON said, o That is 449 too much.
I should have given a very different verdict, but '
is nothing."

THI KING V. SIR G. WOMBWELL.
This was an indictment for an assault on the Rev.
W. Clerke, whilst shooting upon lands in the occu-
pation of Mr. Cockerel', lying within a manor be-
longing to the Defendant, and for challenging him
to fight.
Clerke (the prosecutor) swore, that as he was
shooting on Mr. Cockerell's lands, Sir George rode up
to him in a great hurry, and, after using much oppro-
brious language, challenged him to fight ; he then got
off his horse, and on Mr. Clerke's replying, that his
profession was not fighting, brushed him with his el-
bow.—On the part of the defendant, evidence was
produced, tending to prove that he did not challenge
the prosecutor, but only declared that he would fight
him, if he were not privileged by his profession ; and
. with respect to the assault, it was also proved that the
proiecutor ran against the defendant's hand, and im-
mediately, with apparent satisfaction; exclaimed—
a" An assault! assault! now I have the law of you."
Not Guilty.
