GRIFFITHs GOES FREE.
Samuel Griffiths emerged from the peni-
Tertiary yesterday. He will be remem-
bered as the husband of the woman who
1,A11 ~S.,,.f hon
second ward and received rather rough
treatment at the hands of the brothers of
I. tn bride The brothers were convicted of
SSpattery and a light fine imposed, where
upon one of them swore out a complaint
charging him with bigamy, alleging that
he had wife living at the time
of his latest marriage. He was in
dicted by the grand Jury and went
to the penitentiary in default Of bonds.
Yesterday, however when the case was
called, Mr.. Farian asked that it be dis
missed, for the following reasons: 1t APP
pears that Griffiths first married in 1879,
and received what Mr.. Varian called a
Church" divorce from his wife in 1880 In
1882. he married again, his first wife still
being alive. In June, 1884, however, she
obtained divorce from him in the probate
court, which left him without legal wife.
IN August last he again married, and Mr..
Varian claimed that he had a right to do so,
because the law dld not recognize the sec
ond marriage. An offense had been COM
mitted, it is true, but prosecution was barred
by the statute of limitations. Mr.. Varian,
therefore. asked that the defendant be dis
charged, and the order was made.
