Detective Sergeant Wallace declared he though Smart was “kidding” Rose Hurlock, aged 56, that he was younger. “Smart and Hurlock courted for 18 months,” he declared. ’ e Mr Dodson: He seems to have wooed and won this lady. Sentence for bigamy—which she admitted —was postponed on Hurlock. She went through the form of marriage with Smart at Clapton.
