FIGHT FOR A HUSBAND.

The prize for which two women contended in the
Court Of quarter Sessions in Jersey City yesterday
was an individual named John Boothman, each
woman contesting the claim OF the other to be his
solace and comforter in season and out OF season.
John pleaded not guilty to an indictment for
bgamy. Then followed what Jobson calls high old
swearing. Mary testified that she was married to
him six years ago in st. Francis Xavier's church,
Sixteenth street, New York. while 'Winny" swore
that Father Cauvin performed the matrimonial
ceremony, yoked her and John together at Hoboken
