SINGULAR CASE OF BIsAMY.-In the
Police Court in Boston, a colored man
named Lewis Howard, was charged with
having two wives, one of whome he mar
lied while he was a slave in Virginia
,he being white-anl the other a colored
gaman whom he mrrried in Boston. The
counsel for defence argued that there was
legally but one marriage, as slaves were
not allowed to make contracts ofany kind
without the written consent of their mas.
ters; but Justice Maine thought that
white woman had some rights which col
ored men were bound to respect, and held
the defendant in 5000 for trial.
