On Sunday evening Charles and his part

tending to meet the mail boat early Monday
morning, at Browns wharf and proceed on
their way to Victoria rejoicing But alas !
for human calculations-the Fa,es willed it
otherwise. Deputy Sheriff Nozzle, armed
with writ for their apprehension, took pas
sage by the same conveyance, and just as the
"happy couple" came aboard, and were fclic-
itating themselves on prosperous voyage
the Sheriff steps forward and places the
clutches of the law upon their devoted heads

About one o'clock Charles Henry and his
"partner" were arraigned before Justice Big
Glow to answer to the charge of having at
tempted to unite parties in the bonds Of mat
rimony without authority of law-to which n
plea of "not guilty" was entered; Ewood
Evans, Esq, appearing on behalf of the Ter
ritory and Medelendant for the defense. The
testimony substantiated tho notice of "matrl-

opened in a very appropriate, courteous and

as though Pandoras box had been bursted

striving to seek their "afini.ics" in our al

never listened to speech that would more cf-
fectually write its author as an ingenious,
self-posscssed, INSCRIPTIONS dog-a being in
human form regarding neither custom, sancti-
ty. nor deccncy. The peacock. whose little

This style Of harangue would not have been
attempted in any place where the COWARD
was unprotected by the sanc:iiy Of a court
room and the presence Of ladies. He knew
that for the time being he could free his gull
,y soul Of al the vi,uperniion and abuse it
contained, protected by the Law. The coun-
eel for the Territory closed in a seathiag
speech, which caused even the hardencd VII

Justice Bigelow decided the charge SUE

Of one thousand dollars to appear AT The dis

Henry's saiher-in-law filed the necessary bond
and released his children from "durance vile. "
But the misfortunes Of the matrimonial
finn" did not end here. On Tuesday Charle-
Henry was again spprehended on charge Of
open and notorious fornicaiion." The time
for trial was fixed at ten clock Wednesday
morning. and Charles Henry no, finding
bonds.aen even a. plentiful as when Lis ~ par.
