MAN WITH FOUR WIVES
A man who married bigamously three times was sentenced to a total of IS months' hard labour at Chelmsford, Essex, recently. He was David Gisby, a 56-year-old plumber, and when his counsel pleaded that the accused man had had a troubled life, Mr. Justice Horridge remarked! " I should think he would expect a troubled life if he married four women." It was stated that the second and third "wives" met by accident when they visited Gisby .in hospital on the same day, and thus discovered that he had " married" both of them.
