OLD BAILEY SRSSIO.VS,
ruts MORNING.
•
On the sitting of the WS mooing, Thosuis
Skimmer was placed at the bar, -cfitrged with the crime
of braniality, one of the most dctestible otrences known
to the law.
The principle witness, in snpport of the charge, was
a man of the mime of Davis, who it seems bad been for
some time in a madhouse. Mr. Ally appeared on be-
lair of the prisoner.
• Witnesses were called to prove as alibi, and several
tropectable witnesses gave him aood character for
morality and good conduct. Mr. Justice Richardson
charged the Jury, and after about an hour they returned
a verdict against the prisoner, guilty of the fehrey.

Cast or BIGAMT.—On Sunday last, Mr. George Car-
roll, of Smith Meg-street, attorney, was brought before
the Sitting Magistrate of this °thee, on the abo►e
charge. What appeared in examination was as lot-
lows : —From the testimony of the lady he had lest near-
tied, she stated that she and her former husband had
Kole to reside at Brnssela; that in the month of
111u-
veiuler last her husband died, and she wishing to rears
to Ireland, wrote to wine friends in Dublin stating that
wish, and that if they knew any person ur persons who
were on the Continent, or who had to pass through
Brussels, whom they could recommend, she world take
the advantage of their escort, and revisit her native
laud. Mr. Carroll being acquainted with the coetents,
stated to the lady's friends, that he was going to London
on business, and would think it a trifle to go to Brus-
sels ; he obtained the lady's letter, and proceeded to
that city, cod by it obtained an introduction to her,
where he acted the part of as numarried gentleman
with such gallantry, and escorted her to London, where,
on the 4th of July last, they were regularly married ac-
' cording to the rites of the established church ; hero
they lived a• man and wife, until about three weeks
back, wh►n be came to fhiblin to provide a suitable re-
silence fur her, and had the folly to make a request of
her friends, that his first wife's bring in existruce,should
itht hr told to the lady. lire friends indignantly but si-
lently applied at this Ace, where they were advised to
wait until the ancomicions dupe of the transaction should
arrive in Ireland, which the did by the steam packet.
and was escorted to lodgings in Harold's Cross, by her
supposed hitsbant. informations were immediately
sent to .Ir. Farrell, chief peace u&cr of this city, who
iiumediately dispatched peace officers Lynch and `!slily,
who arrested the grail• wait at diuuer on the charge of
bigamy, to the great consternation of the laity. who,
fur the first moment, was acquainted with her real situa-
tion, anti that he whom she looked upon as her heehaw
had a wife living in his house in King-street, to whom
he was married several years hails, in Hathdrees church,
and %hose family are as respectable as any in that part
of the county of Wicklow. These facts being sworn
to, the prisoner was seat to Nciegate, to abide his trial
at the next conoissioo.—(DitUla Freeman's Joaroal.)

HIGHWAY Rosszay.—Monday night. between ten
and eleven o'clock, Mr. Kayle, of l)ockhead, whilst
•n his way home from a friend's house in St. Thomas's
street, was stopped by two men in Toolerstreet. who
demanded his money. Mr. K. was rather inebriated,
and refused to comply until he should be compelled.
at the !ANC time placing himself in a defensive posture.
One of the ruffians then offered to fight him, which
Mr. Kayle consented to, and pulled off his coat for
that purpose ; but the moment he laid it out of his
hand, the other fellow snatched it up, and ran GC
followed by his companion, and both esceped. The
breast pocket of the coat contained a memorandum-
book, containing notes to the amount of 13/., and in
the other pockets were a silk handkerchief and a new
pair of hoot-hooks. One of the robbers was dressed in
a canvass tluernsey frock, and the ether bad the ap-
pecrance of a hackney-coachman.
