runaway who had married her under a
false name was prisoner styling himself
Oavenoish, and residing in "Maison de
oantee, under the supervision of the Do
ice. Ihe result was that, upon being
confronted with Cayendish, she was en-.
abled to prove his identity with VIM.
Charles Horace Seymour, and thus to OBJ
tain sufficient evidence to procure a SEN
tence of nullity of marriage. AS proof
of the distress which she underwent, and
the thorough respectability Of her testi-
monials, it may be mentioned that
through Lord Palmerston she obtained
on petition sum of ESQ from her Ma
Jesty. 1t may well be doubted whether
our law does not require amendment as
to Its protection or rather want of pro-
lection to narried women. The available
portion of Mrs. Williams's property was
at once sold by the man whom she mar
ried, without any consent on her part !;
and when, after great labor, she had sue
ceeded in obtaining evidence of the biga-
my, she was powerless to deal with the
rest Of her property, because of the neces-
sity for confronting him with the wit
hSSoSo W pfuNc IiS IuCHtitN DtiOft Tue
divorce could be pronounced.
The villain, who is now undergoing
punishment for his forgeries, has not, and
in fact, cannot make atonement for the
misery he has inflicted upon an innocent
and confding woman, whose little for.
tune he has entirely squandered or sacri-
feed, and whose peace he has ruined.
The dastardly attempt to destroy her
character in order to save himself from
tie punishment he deserved, adas ano-
ther dark feature to his atrocity.
What strange glimpses transactions Of
this nature give us into the composition
Of the society of which we are a portion.
Here is swindler, who can travel royal
ly through the world for years, from Jew
eler to jeweler, from banker to banker,
leaying contributions as he goes, and vet
is only detected at last by chance. At
the same time, he picks up wives as he
goes, and drops them at his leisure, leav.
ing them to tears and poverty. 1t is
consolatory, however, to be able occa-
sionally to do an act of justice to persons
who are victims of this vein of poison,
which circulates almost unseen, and to
vindicate the character Of a person like
Mrs. Williams.
