The Attorney General-said he understood that the prisoner desired to make a statement to the Court. ...

His Lordship to the prisoner-You have pleaded guilty to the charge of bigamy. What have you to say why the sentence of the Court should not be passed upon you?

The prisoner then made a long statement in which be observed that he wished it to be thoroughly understood that not the slightest blame could be attached to Miss Lucas or her friends in the matter. He admitted the marriage with his cousin at Holy Trinity Church, Chelsea, and remarked that during a visit of his friends, seven months, afterwards, or in July, 1891, he ascertained that by marrying his cousin he had practically married his own fiesh and blood, and that the outcome of such mar- riages was invariably imbeciles or cripples.

His Lordship-What sort of cousin was she?.

The Prisoner -My first cousin, my Lord. His Lordsip-There have been marriages of that class before. (a pause.) Well, go on.
