It is thought likely that Mr. Heatheote, the eldest son of Sir Gilbert Heatheote, now Lord Aveland, will retire from the representation of Boston, and present himself to the constituency, Rutlandshire, represented by his father. In anticipation of such an event, Mr. Herbert Ingram, proprietor of the Illustrated London News, has issued an address to the Boston electors. He comes forward as a supporter of "civil and religious liberty," popular education, Parliamentary reform, economy, "an equit- able reconsideration of the whole system of taxation," and "local self- government." Mr. Ingram professes a desire for peace ; but "the only peace worth obtaining is a peace that will effectually restrain the Power whose guilty ambition led to the war." Mr. Ingram is a native of Boa. ton, and at the end of his address he points out how ready he has been to aid in enterprises likely to benefit that city, "endeared to him by so many associations," and how, if returned to Parliament, he will be la a better position to advance its local interests. The inhabitants of Margate have applied to the Queen in Council for a charter of incorporation.
Another case of remarrying parties already legally married. In 1852, Richard Carey and Sarah Polley, were married before the Superintendent Registrar of Oxford: after the birth of twins, Mrs. Carey wished to be °hurdled ; Mr. Benson, the Perpetual Curate of Cowley, Oxford, said he could not church her as she had been married by the Registrar—he could not do so unless the couple were remarried at the parish-church : he used no persuasion, and made no insinuation against the legality of the marriage before the Registrar. Mr. and Mrs. Carey felt their position to be unplea- sant, and in May last Mr. Benson remarried them : he published no banns, had no licence, and took no fee. The Home Secretary ordered that he should be prosecuted for marrying without banns or licence. Before the Oxford Magistrates, Mr. Benson admitted the facts, declared that he had not violated the law' and reserved his defence on legal points. He was com- mitted for trial, but admitted to bail.
