NEW COURT.

Llizaboth Wood Loyd stood indicted for having felo-
niously married, on the 2d of !slay, 1814, a Orton
name.l Thomas Loyd, at the parish of Mary-la-honne,.
and afterwards daring the life of Thomas L'iyd, on the
s'.Bth of March, 1822, a person named Henry Truss, at
the parish of St. Pancras. The circumstances proved
in evidence wei e the following :—The prisoner's maiden
name was Ducker, and she was married in the year
1814, by the name of Elizabeth Wood Ducket, to Thos.
Loyd, a journeyman baker. After living with him for
some time they separated. During tkis period of their
separation in 1820, the
_prosecutor, Henry Trusi, be.
came acquainted with her, and lived as her protector
for two years. From some cause Mr. Truss then mar-
ried her, and for four years they lived in the holy state
of matrimony. The extravagance of the pattner of his
bed then induced him to separate, and allow her 1201. a
year Er her support. Subsequently he became ac-
quainted with her former life, and learned that her
first husband was still alive ; he therefore determined
to prosecute her for bigamy, and the present indictment
was preferred.
The register of the marriage in 1814 was produced, and the
hand-writing of the prisoner identified,
Henry Truss, the prosecutor, was called, and having
proved the fact of marriage, he stated that she had re-_
presented herself to him as the. widow of a Capta;n
Blyth, and was married in the name of Beth Wood
Lowther fill th. She also stated herself to be a daughter
of Mr. Graham, the brother of Sir James Graham, who
WAS a cousin of the Lonsdale family. She was als
according to her statement, a niece bf Lady Styles and
Mr. Bosanquet. It was at her instance that the mar-
riage took piece.
The Cosmou SEILIBANT summed up the evidence,
and told the Jury, that the single question for them to
consider was, whether the piisoner had married a
second husband during tire life of the first ? The evi-
dence of the fact was, in his opining, such that little
doubt could remain in their minds of her guilt. If,
however, they had any fair , grounds of doubt, they
would give her the benefit of it.
The Jury, having retired some time,retarned a verdict of Guilty.

At the Chester Assizes, on Saturday, Richard Wilkin-
son, Valentine Olirien, and Thomas Brunt, were con-
victed of rioting at Macclesfield, and sentenced to be

ately instituted into the state of the Universities of Scot-

Yesterday morning, a meeting of the inhabitants of
Combat took place in St. Michel' l's Church, for the pur-
pose of nominating a Common Council Man for the Ward,
vacant by the death of Mr. MAURO; Str CHAS. FLowen,
Alderman of the Ward, in the Chair. Only two Can-
didates have started—Mr. HENRY STOKES a stationer,
and Mr. TRObi AS, bullion broker. Each of the Candi-
dates addressed the Meeting, and, on a show of hands,
the CRAIRIEAN decided that the majority appeared in
favour of Mr. Tawas. The friends of Mr. Swum ins-
mediately demanded a poll, which commenced at one
o'clock, and will continue open this day and to-morrow.
Barnet Fair on Saturday last was very scantily sup►
plied with cattle, there being only 750 stots, and
scarcely any Welsh. The prices of the former were
equal to the fair of last year at this time, excepting for
the larger sort, which appeared about 11. in 166 lower;
but the small beasts fully supported the price of that
period. This is nearly the first south country fair for
spring stock, consequently the north country dealers are
unwilling to Ake any reduction in price until they
have further tried their customers. This was evidently
the case on Saturday, for buyers were numerous, but
many returned without making purchases. Barren
cows went of quick; in calf, a brisk sale. Of sheep
there was bur a very small show, and those were prin-
cipally Southdown couples, which fetched .abotit Ws.
The horse fair was very indifferent, scarcely I good nag
to be seen ; a few prime cart ones were shown. and
prices for them very high. Ponies appear to be very
much in request t for, anything having the look of
fancy, the price was from 14 to 16 4u. wens, and even
up to '2O guineas.

_ that
the bottle came from his hands but declared that it MI o►er blr
accident.
In pis defence, he laid be was much Intozieated and that he but
no wish to hurt any body, and the bottle must hate gone over by
accident.

Sir it. Biome told the prisoner it was well for him the blow wa.t
not fatal, or he might have been placed in a very awful situation
He must find good bail to answer the charge at the Sessions,
MARLBOROUGH STREET. •
Yesterday a young min, dressed as a livery servant, was brough%
up, charged with an attempt to obtain money from Lord Clifton oil
a false pretence. He called upon his Lordship, and said he was in
the service of the Countess of Powerscourt, his Lordship's relative,
and that he wanted money to carry him home to his mistress, wbd
was at a watering-place. Sir H. Parnell had paid a 'kit to his
Lordship in the morning, and told hint that a man had been with
him on a like errand. This caused his Lordship to suspect that the
prisoner was the same person, and that the story was a falsehood.
The prisoner stated that he was out of a situation, and being
totally destitute of every thing, and unable from his peculiar si:ua-
tion to procure a place, be had called upon Lord Clifton to see if
his Lordship would be kind enough to advance him a small sum of
money to enable hies to get into service.

The prisoner was then-removed from the bar, when his Lordship'
expressed his &germination to come forward and prosecute.

HATTON GA RDBN.
Yesterday, Edward Haywood was charged with threatening to'
'take away the life of Mr. Ha;ria, the optician, in Holborn. Mr. H.
stated, that he had been on terms of intimacy with the father of the
defendant, who filled an official situation at St. Helena, and was
still in the Colonial Department, and that the defendant, witho:it
any grounds for such an idea, conceived that he, Mr. Harris, was
in possession of some of the family property, and that If it was not
given up he would take away his life. The defendant being called
on for his defence, defied the Magistrates, and said that he was the
Presumptive Heir to the 'Dwane of these Realms ; if tlyy did not do
him justice he would suspend them when he came to the crown.
He was committed to prison until a suitable asylum is provide.'
for him.
