ATTEMPT OP HUSBAND TO REGULATE A
WIFE With WHOM He HAD LIVED Twyyry
IEARs.-A singular case of bigarnY, desertion
and avarlce was revealed, (says the Cincinnati
Gazette,) before Esquire Bray, yesterday after
noon. A man, Charles Fox who was an old
resident here until four OF five years past.
brought suit against woman residing on the
side OF Mt. Adams near the Termination of
SIxth street. for detention Of property-a hon &c
and lOt-which he claimed to be his Fox had
a wife with him and two small children.
all OF whom were in court and il appeared
during the trial that the woman, against whom
he had brought suit, was also his wife he hav-
ing U-~rried her at Newark, in this State, in
1882, and having had offspring by her. one Of
whom, daughter, is now the head of a family.
and the mother of two children.
number Of witnesses were produced to prove
the fact of his marriage 10 the first wife. and
among them physician present at the birth of
two OF his daughters who were also present
The assurance of the mans attempt TO prove
her who was the faithful partner Of his bosom
for twenty years, merely a rejected mistress,
and his endeaYor TO dishOnOr not only her. but
his own daughters and the children of one of
them, seem 10 eylnce a condition of mind not
to speak of its wickedness, bordering upon in
sanity.
All the parties are highly respectable in an
Pearance, and are said to have occupied an
honorable position in society Fox is q man
seemingly about fifty years Of age, and conducts
himself as II he were really defrauded of prop
erty that justly belongs to him and his new
family.
1he decision OF the jury, which had been EN-
panneled, was in favor of the first wife therebv
preventing the husband from dispossessing her
OF her property, As she could not. however,
produce her marriage certificate, she could not,
II Is SAID, arralgn Fox upon charge Of bgamy.

V About twenty VI the most incOrrigibe
theyes in San Francisco were recently exbib-
tied on the Plaza by the police. The exhibi-
ton was free, and was well attended by as many
as three thousand citizens. The rogues were
fastened, two by two, to a rope which extended
about thirty yards. The victims Of much scru
tiny and curiosity by the citizens exhibited va
rlous phases of character and disposition some
were immensely savage and threatening; others
were amIable, and inclined to be sociable; and
Others again were not inclined 10 be recognised
keeping their faces concealed rs much as possi-
BILE The object Of the show was that people
generally might see these characters and be
able To recognise them on future occasions
Mr.. James Curtis, chief Of police, being called
to account for this, what the Herald terms an
unlawful and despotic act, and to remove the
nspcrsiOns cast upon him, says "They were
men who live by robbery and stealth-burplar,
and house thieves, pickpockets and receivers
who have been arrested time and again: some.
times convicted, and serving their sentence. in
Jail more frequently paying their fines from
their stolen money, to be again at liberty to
dupe some unsuspecting stranger, or force an
insecure house. Time and again have eau
toned warned and threatened these men, but
to no avail. The system Of showing up had it's
origin in England, and has since been found
beneficial by the police authorities Of New York,
Boston. and other large cities Of the Union and
Of Europe" .-,.
