40 years of age, was yesterday morning brought up for anal exam'.
nitiou, charged with marrying Mrs. Sarah Dean), a widow of 60,

prenticed to the primmer. After a short but orient courtship the
marriage took place at Islington last Sunday week, and shortly
afterwards the bride bearing of the previous marriage, gave the
prisoner into custody. It was proved that he offered 10/. each to
the piker and anotherperion to let him escape, but on being told'
Ithat the officer had the marriage certificates hr hi. pocket, he ea.
claimed," Then I'm done; I shall be transported."
A marriage was proved to have taken place at .St. Pancras
Church on the Ist of July, 11122,,between James Hall and Rebecca
Martin, but there woo a diillculty in proving the identity of ttie
Prisoner, the subscribing withess to the marriage being the pariah
clerk, to whom the parties were utter strangers.

evidence. It was proved that the prisoner came to Rebecca Mar-
tha. that they Went from her master's hauls to be married, lived
afterwards as man an i wife, end were always understood to have
been married.
