HENRY PEARSON . I am the parish clerk of Kingston upon-thames. I produce the register of marriages.
"18th February, 1812, Francis Bodenham. of this parish, and Amey Pattey, of this parish, were married by me, John Kendall , curate." I saw the parties sign this register, Francis Bodenham . I believe the prisoner is the man. I cannot positively say he is.
AMEY PATTEY. I live at Mortlake, my daughtor's name is Amey. On the 18th of February, 1812, my daughter was married to the prisoner; in about a month after she was married, she came home and brought her husband with her. They lived in my house as man and wife together. My daughter was alive on the first of June; this is her second child by the prisoner. He left my daughter.

"5th of June, 1813 . Francis Bodenham and Eliza Keattch, both of this parish were married by banns by H. S. Trimmer, vicar, Francis Bodenham and Eliza Keattch." I think the prisoner is the man.
ELIZA KEATTCH . I lived with Mr. Lewis four months; the prisoner came courting to me; he said he was a single man; he had been married, but his wife died in child-birth. I was married to the prisoner on the 4th of June, 1813, at Heston, in Middlesex.
