brought before the Court of King's Bench, in the

Defendant, who had married his wife, aqd had two
children by her; it appmred that the woman, before
the marriage, had lived servant with the Defendant,
and that her previous marriage was totally unknown
to him. Mr. Gaaaow, who spoke in extenuation
for the Defendant, characterised this as rn absolute
burlesque on the Crim. Cou. cases, and observed, that
the object was merely to extort a sum of money,
Lord ELLENBOROUGII told the Jury, that a violation
of the marriage contract having taken place, some
damages must be given ; and they accordingly gave
twenty shilling'.
