REED'S-BILL. o the Editor of Tha Clicago Tribune: Sm: About two months ago there appearod in your paper what purported to boa draft of & bill prepared by Mr. Charles H. TReed, to be sub- mitted to the General Assembly of the State. Iamnpot aware that the Assembly has acted T2pon this bill, or upon any bill of similar char- acter. 1f Iam not mistaken in this, then the expodiency of the changes proposed by Mr. Raod is still an open question. I am aware that Ar. Reed has bad a large experience in criminal ‘matters, and that he, if any one, ought to know tho dofects of our criminal code. I sup- poso this bill embodics the lessons and results of his long experienco and his sober re- flootion. Ho evidently regarda the changes pro- posed as of vital importanco to the publio inter- ests.. The last section declares the insufficiency of tho law on the subjects embraced in the bill to constituto an emergency ” within the mean- ing of the Constitution, snd recites that the “cause of public justice” roquires the act to take effect immediately. I am unsble to per- ceive, however, whereinthe *cause of public justice” would be promoted by its passage. I ‘sm unable to perceive that it proposes any neod- ed reform, or that it tends towards a more en- Tightenod system of criminal jurisprudence. "Ihis manipulating the criminal code is & deli- catesnd important_ matter, and no changes ought to be made unless they are clearly for the better. I do mot regard this code 58 by auy mezne perfect. On the contrary, Iregard it a8 abounding in irregularities, ingonsistencics, and wrn:({.;a. Its very foundation is error, for it is based on the old theological conception of Lu- manity, The criminal code can never be what it onght fo be until its fondamental idea is changed, and bronght into harmony with the re- ‘ults of ‘'modern scienco. The day will yet come When our present lawa in relation to crime and criminals will be looked upon as crude and bar- barous. Bat that day is not in the present, and jtisidle to expect of any Logisiature any radi- cal reforms on this subject. We can only hope for some amelioration. The first section of Mr. Reed's bill provides that tho granting of a change of venue in crimi- pal cases shall be discretionary with the court, and that ““ The deninl of a change of venue shall not be considered or reviowed in any other court.” It is nouncommon thing for a Supreme Court to regard the denial for a change of venue in criminal case as orror, and_to reverse judg- ‘ment on that ground. Shall this power bo taken from the Supremo Court of Illinois ? Shalla pemon ‘accused of crime bo denied the right to ave tho question reviewod? Shall the whole - matter rest in the discro- tion of one man ? It needs no argument to show that the prisoner's right to & change of venuo is an h;{ormnt one. A personaccused of crime is placed in & dangerous position. Tho detectives and polico are always sure they have arrested the right man. _The pross &b onco assume that he is guilty. arrest is announced as the capturo of the man who committed such or such o crime.- He is spoken of as though he hnd been alroady tried and convicted, The danger-is in proportion - to tho enormity of the offcnse charged. The popular indig- nation and resentment excited by t crims 8T6 immadiataly nontamed ...P{N.‘gf.“.mwwg— and. charged with its commission. The pre-- sumption_of innoconce is never thought of. The whole community become impressed with ftis guilt. The trial s regarded a8 & proceeding handed down from the barbarous ages, given up ‘mainly to_the building of lawyers und tho prac- tico- of empty formalitics. “The intensity of ihose feelings in any portion of the commuxity is in proportion to its proximity to the place swhere the crimo was committed. Hence it is thot, the further the trial is removed from {hia’' locality, tho moro likely it is to be fair and impsrtial. In & com- munity which feels resentful towards the pris- oner; which is horrified and apprehensive from the recollection of the crime charged sgainst him; whichhes been accustomed to talk and thinlk of him as actually guilty; which has, in fact, projudged his case,—n guch 8 community Lo can-have littlo hopo of justice. Especially is this trne in capital cases, where the popular feoliog has shaped itself into & clamor for blood. In cases like these, tho right to & change of venue is of vital moment to the accused. Itis & right, too, last of all, in which the local Judges shonld be allowed to poss final judgmont. He is a mm, with all the emotions und susccptibilities of other men. His mind D‘fi!\:e unconsciously imbued with the popular feellng, and unconsciously nf- Tected with prejudice. He is also subject to the eaknessos of othor men, and, being an elective officor, the hopo of Te-olection may disposs him $o cator to the popular clamor. The granting or ‘witbholding a change of veuno is & question upon ‘which the local Judfimis peculiarly liablo to err. The right to have decision roviewed i8-8 safoguard to the ianocent, and but justice to the guilty. Iknow o’ no good reason sgainst iho practice, and these are many good reasons in Tavor of it.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: SmE: When ths city and county aunthorities advertised for conpetitive designs for the pro- posed court-hons . and city-hall, they plainly said that tho plars submitted should bo judged only upon their intrinsic merits. The names of the competing architects wero to be kept secret, so that noparkiality or prejudice might affect tho judges. This was entirely satisfac- tory to the mejprity of those who desired to compete ; but itis now said that this plan is not. to be adhered to At tho meeling of the Duild- ing Committee, on Tuesdsy, it was stated that one of tho members had alresdy examined several of tho plans, of course knowing their authors. X Now, in the name of all honorsble men, I protost against my such course being allowed the Committee, or any member of it. Thero can be no doubt that, assoon s the snthorship of & plan is known, any friend of tho designer is consciously or unconsciously, prepossessed inits favor. 080 of us vho desire to have our designs judged alone Ly their merits domand that tho Commitlee remain cntirely ignorant of the au- thors of the iferent plans, and_thatany com- potitor who shall mako known his plsn to one of tho judges shall have his designs Tejocted. 1 consider thit any one of the judges who is cognizant of the anthorahip of ona -or more of the designs is ineligible for his position, and I doubt not that competitors generally will unite with me in requosting any such to withdraw from the Committee. “However honorable these gentlemen may be, it +will be undoubtodly believed by some of the tn- succeseful ones that thoy wero unduly influenced in their decision by partiality for their friends.

New Yonx, March 10, 1873 Gothamites are enjoymng the first of the vernal months in an oxtraordinary manaer. The only flowers visible are those raised in hot-houses, and oxposed for salo in Brosdway windows, or offered to tho passing publis from wayside baskets by girla with blue-cold lips and frost- bitton noses. Instead of hearing burds singing in tho parks and squares, the poor litile spar- rows aro perishing from the severity of the season, and dropping dead from the barren and blasted trees.* The streets aro almost impnsea- ble from ico and snow, and pedestrians hurry along, eshaling blue vapors, rubbing their ears. and beating their hands to keep them warm. TIIE INITIAL MONTH OF SPRING! What freezing irony! If this bo spring, what is winter? Where is the sense or fitnoss in calling March vernal? It ghould be banishod from spring, and bound to tho winter. As itis now, the almanac is made to falsify evory year There mnever was, in tws lstitudo, & mild - or pleasant, or even an endurable, March; nor is there over likely to be. March hould ba cxpelled from the calendar ; it is worse than useless; it does no good, and much harm. Pernaps, if it were turned out for ill-behasior, and kept out long enough, it would improve, and finally become proper to associate with thescasonsagain. When not taking sides with winter, its conduct is excoedingly discreditable, 1t acts a8 badly as it can,—knocking off the hats of esteemed citizens ; tearing awnings ; throw- ing dust i evorybody's cyes; and deranging feminino drapery in the most unywarrantable manner. 1t is annoying, repulsive, audacious, licontions. Not content with its own vile ways, it has cor- Tupted its fair sister, April, and positively in- jured lovely May. Those mouths aro not what they used tobe. They have lost their gontle- ness and delicacy ; they bave grown holden- igh; they follow tho wrotched —example of March, which hss gome far toward spoiling the entire spring. Wo have had more than-enough of March. Lot us eliminate it at once, and refuse to reccive it except on its sol- emn promise of reform. TIIE STRIFE OF THE STOCE-EXCHANGE. You have observed what an animated timo we have been having in Wall streot ; how the bulls and bears have been goring and tearing each other. The principal contestants are said to Tase boen Henry N. Smith, Daniel Drew, Alvin 5. Stockwell, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Jay uld. Drow and Vanderbilt scldom admit they have been operating in stocks, and, s _their brokers act for them in s fiduciary capacity, their opera- tions cannot bo directly traced. There is little doubt, however, that the veterans have been {aking & few turns; and the probability is, they Tva Been compallad to rolieve their purses of & largo mmount. This they deny resolutaly, of course; but they who should know declare Daniol and Cornelius have at least &1,000,000 less then they bad & fortnight ago. Jby Gould scems to b the man who hins gotten the money outof them; end ho is greatly Tejoicod thereat, for he dislikes Drow, and he dotests Vanderbilt. Theso aro such cunning old foxes that it rojoices the younger habitues of the Exchango to got_ahead of thom. The *boys” cannot offen doit; but tho rarity of their-suc- cess renders it all the more agrecable. Nobody hates to lose more_than the venerablo specula~ tors to whom a million or 8o is of slight conse- quence, really, though of immense importanco i their estimation. They would rather pert with £1,000 to any urdinm'g ‘porson than with £100 fo Juy Gould, whom they denonuco on all occasions. Hence Gould’s delight at beating the old fellows. M0RE VICTINS.

Every] declares, however, thiat, like Dogberry, they havo had losses, which ato ot sufficient to cripplo thom, and’ which they may make up beforo the end of the month: ONE OF THE FOLKTUNATE. Juy Gould is very ambitious to bo the largest oporator in Wall street, and the most euccessful. oi8 in s fair way to gain his wishes; for ho has wrought wonders sinco his expulsion from the Erie Railway. He hss displayed a degreo of shrewdness, nervo, and_perspicacity that no ono gave im credit for. Ho has outwitted somo of filo sharpest and most oxporienced operators, snd is looked upon with respect by many who onco despised him,—thoTespect coming from his remarkable prosperity. Gould is not popular in tho lesst; indoed, he is very unpopular. Ho bas no friends, and is credited with tho saying that a mav's bokt friend in » big banl-acconsit ‘which, if oll the world are Wall strect, would be truc enough.

Thoy ere regularly swallowed up; but their example does not deter others from being swallowed up in turn, Wall streot requires gome 315,000,000 to 220,000,000 sn- nusally for its expenses, and this vast sum the brokers must got out of somebody,—the some- body being, for the most part, that maltitodin- ous goose, the Public.

To the Editor of The Chicago Trilune : Sm: While reading the oxcellent and timely article by IL. W. Cleveland, on Tree-Planting, in a recent issne of your paper, it occurred to me that this would bo & very proper time to ask, What is the use of planting treesif they aro not protected? I allndo particuiarly to the trees which are planted in our public streets. The troos and shrubs which aro planted in our parks and boulevards are under tho special csro of the Park Commissioners, and aro_usually sufliciont- 1y protected; but it is othorwise in our publio sireots, My professional duties have obligod Tmo to drive through noarly overy strect in this city, and I Lave had ample opportunities to ob- sorve whoroof I now complain. With a commendablo taste, each house-owuer, as soon #a ho builds, ofton before, plants a row of shade-trecs between the curb-stone, or gutter, and the sidewalk. Theso tross sometimes cost from 825 to 8100 each, and are plauted with grost care. But, after tho planting, what measures are taken to profect them? In the front majority of cases, bone at all.

In early days the “gravoyard stylo” was adopted, especially on Wabash ayene.

CE10AGO, March 11, WASHINGTON. The Inauguration—A Cold Affair. Does Przsident Grant Expect a Third - Term? . List of the Anti-Censurers. From Our Own Correspondent, ‘WasmrseToN, March 7, 1873, The second inguguration of President Grant swas mado the subject of more ambitious displsy than was ever kuown in this country ona like occasion. BOOM-A-LADDIES. The strict dieciplina of West Point for the first’ time was relaxed, and that fine body of Cadets brought nearly 300 miles to take part in the performance. The Naval Cadets, who have been very handsomely developed in training and asprit-du-corps by Admiral Porter, came from Annapolis to march after the Wost-Pointers. Regulars of the artillery, infantry, and cavalry, and a considerable body of marines, were added to the procession. Full militis regiments came voluntarily from New York City, Hartford, Balti- more, and Philadelphia. Thero were companies of militia from Albany, Bt. Louis, Boston, and many other points. At a guess, I hould esy that there wero 6,000 men of uniform in lime. But the civie portion of the procession waa rel- atively small, the number of poople in sight emaller than four years ago, and it Was genor- ally remarked that 8o shabby an sudionco had not been seen in the galleries of, the Senate on the occasion of any pagesnt since the beginning of the War; thoy looked as if they were the families and Triends of the doorkeepers. 1 am not saying there was any mental cause for this state of things, becauso slight circum- stances affect great open-air gatherings, and it waa plain that one of the causes of this day's indifference was tho EXCESSIVELY COLD WEATIIER. Justas the Signal Corps poople predicted, sn Arctic puff struck Washington the night befors tho ceromony, s freezing- a8 if an icoberg had drifted invisibly overhead and poised thero, cxhaling upon the town. Thus, peoplo who had come from Buffalo and Boston fonnd euch & spell of weathes here as they had never known ¢ home. The Wese Point Cadets marched . striking their palms against their legs and bressts, snd the Boston Lancers looked pain and dissatisfaction as they sat astraddle of their horses like poor wretches chained torecks of ico. I fully agreo with Mr. Yates, tho English writer who describod the scone, that it did not meet expectations. Some- how these avenues make everything Iook looge and revelled out ; and, as the houses are of dif- ferent heights, and so meake the frame of the pictare undignified, in like manner the proces- sion seemed straggling and disconnected. At one place thero were gaps, &nd at another the troops wore crowded upon. each other. The flights of stepsand stalls which Lad been con- |. structed by speculators to bo rented out were nearly empty, and the only humorous excl tiona fo bo icard were thoso of poot whites from horeabout wrangling with negroes sbout playing goldier; and everybody ecemod nelned 15 hurry through and get out of the cold. 1t hea been the coldest thing of the kind all through. that ever Isnw,” said Carl Schurz to Ime, i tho big ball-room tha evenlng, when men ‘ere walking caps and_overcoats, and everybody was nsking for raw brandy to counteraci the deathly cold. It isto be doubted whether so large and expensive & e will evcrn'illn o sot up here at An inaugura- tion; for the gentlemen who liberally subscribed {ho means were of tho opinion that night that they would bo out of pocket £40,000. Had this Dbuilding afforded suy protection from the. in- clemont weather. it would have been universally appreciatod ; for it was a monster in propor- tions,—a vast framo rink 300 by 150 fect, aad richly emblazonied and bespangled; but, 1f tho water had boen admitted to the floor, we should have had good skating in ten minutes. This extravagantcdifice has come to bo & very melanéholy object since tho ball, standing up there between tho court-house and the jail, so Fant, blank, and forsaken, and looked at in a dis- consolate way by its propounders,. who express the problem of how to get their money back. It did not scem tome_ that above 1,000 tickets had been sold for the ball, Those who conld not dance woro marching around, as if running £00t- races to keép up circulation. Y Washington City has been growing i popula- tion and ornsmentation ever since the close of the War, but still it is s - DIG MUNICIPAL PROBLEM * at the best how to support o population of 130,000 with no industries here but a few thou- sand clorks, and Congress sbsent half the year. Dr. Magruder. ono of the Board of Publio Works, was bowsiling tome, while the procession passed on tho Fourth, about tho unorganized and inofticient method of supplying the markets of Washington. Tho country heresbout pro- duces no butter, and only aporfion of the vege- tables and popltry required for our tables. There is a difference of from $0t0 50 per cent in tho oyster-marketa nlone of. Baiiimore ond Wash- ington.. Onc.con go down the river to Alexandris, - which is half an hour's ride by rail or water, ond find tho markets and the rents to diminish fally -50 per cent. Like overy othor part of the country, we airo putting our faith in railroads, snd indulge the droam of opening up & road to Frederick, 4., and anothor to_tho Shenandosh Valley, in boths of which thero is an abundance of chease, flour, butter, nnd solid marketing. s is & very much more important question than the coremony of the President's inauguration, be- causo for such deficiencies we have just bad to ~vote him 3 ONE [UNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE SALARY, and give:evory member of the Houso andSenato: & new brick hiouse. Whatever may have been the excusos for this last sction, the retro- sctive manner 1 which it was done was a8 uoworthy of the National Togislature ns of the Chief Magistrato who consented to the sct; and there wore but few porsons in the streots of the capital, on in- auguration-day, who felt much confidence or in- spiration in n_ceremonial precoded by such hog- gery. . Four years ago tho example of present— Paking was set, and naw_Congress votes itself a present all round with porfect equanimity. Tho Tnblushing ond unpartisan way in which this ~voto was given shows that Congross has lost re- gard for the Nation, as much a3 the Nation re- spect for Congress. © ' . THE PRESIDENT looked sbont s usuzl whon he cama into tho Senato and took n cheir, having first been hustled away from the door and made to sign & lotof bills in_the ante-room, which he neither Toad nor considored. Ho ig particalsr abont the quality of his overcoats, which always fit him very suugly, and look rich. His boots, in liko sanner, are of fino quality and make & snug fit. He walks in a creoping way, however, from tho Tips to tho knees, and_ thers isno braco to the small of his back. Altogother, I could not helj Teoling, both as_ho et in the Sonsto and re his mossage on the platform, that the President’s influenco lics in tho queernces and the novelt of his character. Ho is accredited with which wo do not understand in him, snd his remarkable success has made a super- stition in his favor amongst the multitude, while his shyness and docility alluro the great class of rich burghers who.never. knew anything sbout t mon, and are flattered with President Grant's interchange of hospitalities. Ono gen- tleman said to me, whilo we looked at the ECCLD 2 41T 13 MARVELOUS - to see tho case with which this country is gov- erncd.. There is not aronud the Prosident moro capaaity, in the way of counsel, Cabinet advisers, ot,, tiian you can find in any ‘ordinary town of 10,000 inhabitants. And yet Grant undorstands discipline, which I suppo3o be got at West Point and in the army, unon& to mako and unmake eminence at will. The country is prosperous, aad the Government is getting to be nobody's aie Ono should not, perbeps, put t0o much valuo upon mero utteratco; but the class of opinions current on the night of inauguration as to Grant's 'ELIGTBILITY TO THREE TERMS, . o mors clections, ote., was not such as might safely have béen mado in public ten years ago. Here was Gen.—, for example, who is Bo- liciting the Govsrnorship of a Terrifor. roundiy oxclaiming that he wanted Grant to be President forlife; that tho chango in tho ofices wa3sa cause of instshility and weakness in the Ameri- can people, end onght to be correctod by - keop- ing a good man when you have got him.” The same night, Gen. ——, who long served. on Grant’s staff, was harangaing alot of peopls, at another hotel, upon the point that he never wanted to see £ny more elections, snd had beon the original sdviser of tho President to a third term. A gbanl.lnmm ventured to intimate tbat, in Republican life, a change of Presidents was desirablo at proper periods, in order to make exemplars for tho youth of the country, and went on_to show that a dull series _of_Kings, like .the Houso of Hanover, would- mufile and belittlo the Chief Magistracy. “J do not see,” said this gentleman, that Prosident Grant’s example has n so illustri- .ous as o civil magistrate as to entitlo him to more time atour hands than Washington, or Jefferson, or Madison, or Liucoln. We never had snch political morsls s we now have; for the President has had as little example as policy to urge upon Congress. He has not made Fea.m - ing more illustrious, high-mindedness more the Tule, the Governmert more distinct, nor the cout of it any less.” At this point the auditorium resounded with : % Oh ! here’s to Charley Spencer | Oh! here's to Charley Spancer 17 ete. Tho Prosident’s speoch has left oversbody in doubt whother he meana to run again; but_the office-seokers, to & man, afirm that ho shall. When s mau wants a loaf and s fish, he is very firm in indorsing the miracle which produced it. > Tdonot know thst there is any need of throwing tropes away on THE INAUGURATION BOENE. 1 deacribed it all four years ago, and this year canght such a cold at the big ball that tho house resounds with whooping congh, and the doctors’ buggies go round the strcets at a morry gait. 'THE POINT IS WELL TAKEX as to Roscoe Conkling's dependence upon that nowepaper press ho profeises to losthe. The negligent State authorities of New York failed to send his credentials to this city in order that he might be sworn in on the fln};fi;r the session, and therefore Senator in arose and said that, as it was s matter of common’ no- torioty nod publication - that the clection had oocurred, he proposed that Conkling be admitted forthwith: Hence Mr. Conkling owes to “a licentious press” his seat for the moment.

' Her Seducer Discovers that a Man May _Be Married and Not KnowIt, Interesting Opinion in the: Cage- * by Judge Farwell. % People in genersl who entertain looso idess concerning the relations of the sexes, andyonng moen in particalar who are inclined tobe reckless in their ante-matrimonial complications, may ba expocted to note with peculiar interest u decise* ion rendered by Judgo Farwell yesterdsy touche ing the validity of & moek marriago. It appears clearly that tho hymoneal knot may be tied by cflm’r than priestly or judicial fingers ; indeod, that it may not bo tied at all, and still prova'to be very binding. A curious illustration of thig fact was furnished in the caso in question—that of Anns C. Schmidt, nee Jacobson, againsh Jacob Schmidt. The interesting features thereof are folly set forth in the annexed opinion of Judge Farwell: 2 This is & bill Aled under the statute for sepse rate maintenance, the complainant slleging that sheisunderthenecessity of living separately from ber husband without her fault. The defense is, in pubstance, that they were never married, and that ehe ig not his. wife.. The complainant ad- ; mits that there never has been any marriage license, or marriage ceremony performed by s clergyman or judicial officer, but clsims that there has been a common law marriage; that they solemnly agreed by present words to take each other as husband and wife, and have lived together as such. - The facts appear from the evidence to be, briefly, these: Heis a German. In the fall of 1871, not long beforo the great -fire, he - inquired of somo Danish people with whom he was acquainted—to-wit: Carlsen and his wife— if they knew of & good ‘gir! whom he could get for a wife. They told him they did, and intro duced-him to the complainant, s Danish girl"’ They seem to have beon pleased with each other, and on Sunday, the 8th of October, made an ap- Yoinment to go to the Court-House on the fol- lowing Tuesday, aud get married. The fire disar- - ranged their pian, but they did not give up their intention to get marri The defendant hired & house_on_Meridian sireot, on the West Side, and invited his Danish rriend to occupy it with him. Carlsen and -his wife occupied rooms " there for two or three weeks, and the complain. ant went there at the Eame._time to keep house Yor him with the understanding that if they got along well together they were to be married. They, from the first, occupied the same bed, and fived together apparently ss husband aud wite up tothe time he left him in the fore part of Jan- - ary, 1873, Bhe saysthat soon after shewent thera ghe urged him to have the @ ceremony arformed, snd told him she would not live with im in that way; that she would go away unless .. they wero married; that he promised o atten to it from day to day, and that, finally, soms- three or four weeks after she went there—ons ~ - Bunday—he brought a stranger to the house, with whom he talked in German for some tims S:r_hich Ianguage she does not understand), and.’ that the stranger eat down by her side, and ine quired of her in English if she liked the defend= - ant; ehe replied that she did; tnat after a whils tha stranger went away, and that the defendant told her that they were married now; that.thsd 7aa 8 good marriage in this country. She says that ehe believed him, and that he, from thay time, up to a short time before she left him, never said anything to the contrary, bt thathe . finally began fo treat her badly, and said that™ she was not his wife; that he never had bee married to her: that be should sell his t] and break up housekeeping, and she could take wfi of hcm:bl{,. i i e neighbors snd scquaintances—whet few there are—testified that the parties lived together a8 man and wife, and were supposed by them ta be such. Mr. Carlsen says t last spring o3 summer she stated to him that they had been. married—that & man had come to the house and ‘married them. Bhe says that soon after this al- Iei;ed ceremony the defendantwrote, in German, s fotter to his mother in Germany, which tha. complainsnt conld not read, in which lotter, sg she was informed -by him at the time, ha stated to his mother that they were married, and she says that she signed her name'to the letter at hia request. - She produces in’ evidence s letter writ~ ten by the defendant’s mather, in reply to this, addrensad to both of them, scknow) g the ~ receipt of tho lotter from both of thom, apols ogizing for not baving answezsd it soonef, cons gratulsting her son upon baving got 0 g industrious a wife, and asking fora picture of hia wifé to hang up by tho side of her son's, and ens Joining upon him to be good to her and treat hez wel The defendant in his testimony denies that ha™” ever was married to her ; denied that any man. - ever cam there, 58 alleged by her, or that he ever told her that they were married, or thad that was & good enough marrisge in thisconn- try; denios that she ever united with himis. yriting to his mother, or that he ever wrototo ™ Lis mother that he had married her. He admita that he often promised to murry her, and esys that if sho had not run away he should bavs " married her this epring. He calls as s withees “his younger brother,whoworked for and boarded with him during most of tho. time in question,~ who'swears that the cn:iplainmt oftanfidhlm that ehe was not matried to the defendant, and who makes statements which, if true, -wi indicato improper advances . on her part towards the witness, I do not think that the statemsuts of thig boy are worthy of belief. They are not supported by any other evidence in the case,-and are not probable of themeelves. On the whole, I sm clearly of the opinion that this curious story is to be belioved. There 1¢ 0o dispute but that their first acquaintance wis. formed with'a view to matrimony; that they 80 agreed to be married ;- that she went to live with him expecting to be married; that they lived tov gother for moro than o year apparently ss mare Tied people ;-that his mother must hayo been in- formed by him that thoy-.were married ; and, 84- to this fact concerning the marriigo ceremany—= if it may bo called such—I choose to believe hat -rathor than him.
