Uq magistrates of AVitnoy , Oxon , with having , on tho 5 th of October , sulcumifle ' d matrimony in the par-tali church of Hamptoai between tho hours of Mix" and hovcii in tho morning . Tho young and who
man woman lwid bem » inarriedhad absconded , to ovoid giving evidence , but . liad been arrested in London , and wore in attendance during tho investigation . Their names are Richard l ' mtt , an apprentice to a shoeniakcir , and Juno ( . irccn , a housemaid in Dr . Gilea ' 8 eervlc » j . They proved that on tho day ««( , forth in tho cliargo they wore nnirrled by J ) r . ( Jilon , . about a (| iuirtcr pant six , a . m .

Oxon written on one corner ; but no licence was found in the register chest , where all licences were xisually deposited , and the witness did not know what became of the document referred to . ) An attempt liad been made to induce the -witness Pratt to depose that he was married on Tuesday the 3 r « l , and not on the 5 th , and he had agreed to do so . Charlotte Lait also , whose mark purported to be in the register-book as present at the ceremony , swore that the marriage took place on the iird , and that she made the mark on that clay . (_ She afterwards admitted that Dr . Giles had instructed heir to make this
statement , and she will probably be prosecuted for perjury . ) After the examination of the parish clerk and other witnesses , a discussion took place respecting the nature of the offence upon which l > r . Giles was t *> be called on for his defence , it being contended for the prosecution that the charge for marrying without banns or licence , as well as for marrying before eiglit in the morning , was fully proved ; b \ it , as the offence speciiie < l in the warrant of apprehension was for the latter charge only ; , it was determined to proceed upon that at present , and that a second information should afterwards be laid for the more serious offence of marrying without banns or licence . Dr . Giles was then asked what he liad to sayin answer to the charge , but , under , the direction of his professional adviser , he 'declined to enter on his defence beyond saying that he pleaded 3 iot guilty to any charge of felony most loudly .

assizes ; but agreed to accept bail for the appearance of Dr . Giles , himself in . 500 / ., arid two sureties in 250 / . each .

Mr- Xorth was in his shop at the time , and wsu struck a violent blow in the face by a brickbat hurled by one of the rabble . After this , tin * , shop of Mr . Cr reentieW , in the same district , was attacked , but no great < lamage done . The shops of Mr . Reeves , Narrow-march ; Mr . Ilutchmson , Pleasant-row ; and Mr . Adamson , w « re also visited , and a number of panes brokesi .
" Ihe next morning-, a number of master bakers went to the - police-office , t «> consult the magistrates upon the matter , and a * k for the protection of their property , in case of a repetition of violence at night . Upon this , the mayor and magistrates had a private meeting , when it was resolved to send an increased force of police out , and to swear in a number of special constables , so that they might be in rea . dine . -ss at a 'moment ' s notice , if required . " A youtli , who was captured at one of the disturbances , was brought the next morning before . the magistrates , and after paying the amount of damage and costs , was discharged . "
