SENTENCED FOR BIGAMY.
[P»n Press Association.! WELLINGTON, June 17. Allen Raymond George and Frederick William Seton were sentenced to three years’ hard labour for bigamy. On George’s counsel asking that the prisoner should lie admitted to probation his Honor said that such a suggestion was inadmissable- A case of this kind could only be met by a substantial term of imprisonment. George had three wives in three years. He first married a woman of bad character and soon left her, which the Judge said was justifiable, but no excuse for him to seduce a young girl, marry her as a single man and keep her till 1917. In the same year lie married a third woman, also deceiving her into the belief that he was single. He also elaborately falsified the marriage register.
