Some months ago a rather sensational arrest took place at Maori, Hill, when the wife of a respectable resident was taken to Queensland to answer a charge of bigamy. The circumstances of the case were rather peculiar. The woman was married to an old Italian in reduced circumstances when at the tender age of 15, and it was stated that influence was . brought to compel her to become his wife. His treatment of her was such, that she subsequently took her destiny in her own hand and left him. Some years afterwards she married in Dunedin, and lived happily with her second husband. Proceedings for bigamy were recently instituted on the part of the Italian. x The result is that the woman has been acqujtted by the jury before whom she was tried when, taken back to Queensland.
