when this worthy clerical gentleman forged
a certificate of the husbands death, and
placed it in the hands of his
wife, whose death he likewise certl
fled in a forged document and sent it
to the husband in America. Shortly
afterwards he piously betook himself to
Corfu, where he hoped TO spend the remain
