wholesale shoemaker at the latter place.

Muria Nay was indicted for feloniously intermarrying
with Samuel Harris, her former husband, William Nay,
being then living.
Samuel Harris stated that he was a butcher, living in
Spafields ; he married the prisoner eleven years since at
St. Luke's church, Old-street, and lived with her until
about two months since, when she got drunk, and left
home for several days ; he afterwards refused to live with
her, having ascertained that at the time he was married
her former husband was living; she described herself as
a single woman.
John Kirby—Knew the prisoner's first husband ; was
present at his marriage, twenty years since, at Stepney
church ; had not seen him for more than twelve years ;
witness did not know whether he was dead or living.
The Recorder told the jury that they must acquit the
prisoner, there being no proof that her first husband was
living at the time of her second marriage.—Verdict, Not
Guilty.

Lorenzo Pardo (a Spanish refugee) was indicted for
stealing a coat, value 31. the property of Mr. F. Clarke.
The prisoner was seen to take the coat out of the house ;
he was followed, and taken into custody with the stolen
property in his possession.
When called on for his defence, he said (through the
medium of an interpreter) that he was in the greatest
possible di.trers, not having a farthing in the world, and
a stranger in a foreign country. On the day in question
he went into a public house to solicit charity, in which
there were several people who gave him something to
drink. When he was about to leave, one of them told
him to go to the prosecutor's house and fetch the coat,
which he did, under the supposition that this person was
the master of the house.

Recorder.—l think the Jury cannot give much credit
to such a statement.

The prisoner then called Mr. Emanuel Mercury, who
stated that Le had known the unfortunate person at the
bar for six or seven months ; that he was the • most cha-
ritable man he ever met with ; he had known him on
several occasions, when he met a distressed object, give
him every farthing he had in his pocket, although at the
time he was himself unable to get sufficient food, his only
income being six or seven shillings a week, allowed by
the Spanish itetligee Society. He had some property in
Spain, but when he was driven from that country, it was
confiscated. The persecution he had met with at times
so completely overpowered him, that he was quite in-
sensible of what he was doing.—Verdict,
The 13. EC Olt D It said, under the peculiar circumstances
of the case, the sentence of the Court was that he be im-
prisoned one month.
