The first witness that was called was Mr. Eilwaril
Rimini', the Parish Clerk of Woolwich, who pro-
,:nced the marriage register of the prisoner to Harriet
Cole (his first wife), on Wednesday, the 1 lth of May,

Malcolm Sellers depoe.sci, that he was acquainted
with the hand-writing of the prisoner, and the writing
in the register was his. The prisoner showed witness

he got the certificate from his wife, and that was all
he wanted. This witness further stated, that the
prisoner's wife lived with the boatswain's mate of the
31rs. Sarah Short was the next wham's, and in con-
sequence of her infirm state of body was Arco 11111 l o-

prisoner one pound twelve shillings for that pnrpu'e.
After they returned from church they slept at her
house. He was at that time a gunner on board the
Venus. They went on board the ship the next slay.
le February, last year, she again saw the prisoner at
Woolwich. iVitness told him, that the Minister (the
!ter. )ir. Fraser) had sent to her about his marriage.
Ile then said, " Mrs. Short, you are the only person
1 am afraid of, and if you will swear 1 am net the
same man that married Harriet Cole, I will settle half.
the property I have got upon tow." The shows aa•

syssed, for that he, the prisoner, was themes that mar- s

and had a son 15 years of age.
Examined by Mr. Justice PARK—She visited the
deceased woman twice in the hospital, and between
the %Lilts she informed the prisoner his wife was dying.
She saw Miss Lime* lately upon the subject, and in-
formed her that the first wife was still alive and at
Plymouth. That account was false, but now she
rattle to speak upon her oath, she felt bound I. speak
the truth. Miss Lawn had *feted her money for in-
formation.
3largaret Cole, sister-In-law to the primmer, depos-
ed, that she saw the prisoner's first wife in the same
conditionas spoken to by the last witness, and about
the same time. She told witness she was going Into
the ho.pital, and went then by the name of Mary
White. Witness Afterwards inquired at St. Thomas's
Hospital, and was informed of her death.
A clerk from St. Thomas's Hospital produced a

book of entries, in which it appeared that a women
named Mary White came in on the 6th of July, 1615,
and died on the 6th, in the Magdalen Ward.
Cross-examined—There were many persons in the
book of the name of Mary White.

knew Mrs. Short, and bad heard het say two nountbi

who would give any permits 1001. who would swear
that Thlnlle.s liordon's first wife was alive. She also
said, " Oh. what does it signify if we can get the
motley!" Witness would not believe Mrs. Short upon
her oath, because he had seen her repeatedly drunk.
lle had no other reason.
A deed of settlement was here put in, in whirls
the second wife It oil so disposed of her property, that
the prisoner should enjoy it in ease he survived her,
for leis life. nit': the power to bequeath it to his suc-
cessor.
At the request of Mr. Aisitv, Elizabeth Millington
was recalled, and asked, upon her oath, if she was not
•ts board the Potnione frigate at Portsmouth, on the
6th of July, 1815, the day on whieo she had sworn
she met the person raided Mary White in London.
She answered that she quitted the Pomone at Wool-
wich, in 1514.

time. The Potnone did ■ot anise at Woolwich until
September that year.
Mr. Edwards, the parish clerk of Woolwich, was
also recalled, and said Mrs. Short was a most respect-
able woman, and fully entitled to credit upon her
oath.

Mr. Justice PA'!IC summed up the evidence at con-
siderable length, and the Jury ionnediately found the
prisoner Guilty.
