EXTRAORDINARY APPLtcATIoN.--On Wednesday last, Henry
Murray, a young man, with a most care-worn aspect, applied
to the presiding magistrates, Messrs. Hardwirk and Halswell,
for their advice as to how he was„to act under the fallowing sin-
gular circumstances:—
The applicant stated that on the 19th September, 1835, he
was married by bans, in the parish Church of Christ Church,
Spitalfields, to a young woman named Elizabeth Smith. After
living together for about four months his wife returned to the
house of tier mother, in consequence ofhis being at the time out
of employment, and though he had used every means in his
power to prevail upon her to return, it was all to no purpose.
Some days ago, after a long correspondence with his wife, he
received a letter. The applicant here handed to Mr. Hardwick
a letter, which he read, and of which the following is a copy:—
" October 31, 1836.
"Sir,—l am requested by Mrs. Ann Gutch to inform you that
your claim upon her daughter as your wife is now invalidated,
by reason of her name not having been duly registered as re-
quired by law. It has been necessary that she should be re-
christened, by which she has received the name of Hannah Ann
Gregory, in exchange for her late name of Elizabeth. You are
hereby given to understand that she is your wife no longer, and
she is now at liberty to wed whomever she pleases. Caution is
hereby given you that, should any disturbance, molestation, or
.interruption take place on your part, magisterial influence will
be immediately resorted to.
" N.B.—For the purpose of ascertaining the validity of the
said christening apply to the vestry of the parish of St. Ann,
Limehouse,--Yours, &c. "CHARLES CLENIENTS.
"I beg leave to add that the disannulleil certificate of your
marriage is hereby returned, being now of no avail whatever."
The applicant proceeded to state that, in consequence of the
receipt of this letter, he proceeded to Limehouse Church, and
there ascertained from the Rev. Mr Williams' that not only the
christening alluded to had taken place there, but on the same
day the banns had treed,' 11 for the marriage of his (appli-
cant's) wife with anothei'Man, and by the advice of the ttev.
Mr. Williams he came before their worships.
Mr. Hardwick.;HVhat do you mean ns to do for you; we
cannot restore to yotryour wife'; what-is it you reqiiire?
Appneant.—i 46(0 know if I can prosecute my wife if she
should get married absence, as I arm about going to sea;
and if I did, whether or not the expenses would fall on myself?
Mr. Hardwick.—What was the uame she went by when you
got married to her? -r s 1 .
Applicant.—Elizabeth 406
Mr. Hardwick.—Was that her teal name?' :914130 .114 I

Applicant.---Yes; Sir. - - - . 7-:,',1 ',di

theMlar.wisiaanrddwicue
customs om remarked
(, f the country,that it
iifulthiero mererm a
a legal divorce in separating wife from husband, or husband from
wife, and to screen the parties from legal consequences. 'Filets
could be no doubt, if-the statement of the applicant was, true,-
his wife would subject -herself ,to a prosecution for bigamy by
marrying :loin. • ' •
Mr. Hals4ell asked who Mr. Clements, the writer of the letter
that had been read, was ? and •
The applicant replied that he was brother to the young, man
to whom his wife was about to get married. -•- -
Mr. Halswell also read a letter addressed by-the applicant
some time ago to his wifeliril which he complains of her conduct
in encouraging the young man (Clements) as a suitor, and eau
lions her against 6,,ing -
that which report attributed to her,
namely, getting married to him, she being his, the writer's, law-
ful married wife, and concludes ,bv _huping she would acknow-
ledge her faults, and return _to him,: her disconsolate and lawful
husband. On the other side of the•saine sheet,of paper an an-
swer is written by the wife, in which:she expresses her astonish-
ment that he should presume-to eirlkiler-SciFe; and cautions him
to say us little at, possible of their illagsilniarriage, lest her mo-
ther might take it- into het 41tiacl, to sue,liintfoii het .(the wife's)
maintenance while she wiiszaway from him.i•l::;,-• - ••
After reading the letter through, - Mr. • Haswell expressed a
similar opinion kith Mr..Hartiw:ek at ila,the•wife's liability to
be indicted for bigamy if she ot:trried.agaim and t.,ld the appli-
cant that the expenses of the prosecutioniWould be paid by the
county. , .- • - ,-,•.--.;;',..: cry,.- .
The application, from its -nciveltv/exvited a good deal id
laughter among all present, except- the applicant, who,seemed
very dolorous indeed.

But perhaps the most extraordinary proof eVerfurnislit,d'of the
