We learn from The Greensboro Patriot of the
9th inst. that Elrrard Bling was tried on Friday
the 9th inst. indictment for bigamy. The
history of his iniquities has already been laid be-
fore our readers. The trial took place before
Judge Nash. The jury returned verdict of
gully, after an absence Of few minutes He
was sentenced to be branded with the letter B on
his left cheek (Which carried into execution
in presence of the Court;) to be imprisoned three
years and to receive thrty-nine lashes at three
several times before the expiration Of his term of
imprisonment. His abode has been assigned him
in GuilGord Jail.


The following is the substance of Judge Nash's
remarks preceding the sentence:


There is scarcely any duty more painful ever
devolved upon an individual than that which falls
to the LOT of judicial officer in apportIoning the
punishment which the law awards 10 convicted
criminal. In the present case and under the pre-
sent circumstances it becomes doublY so, on ac-
count of your youth and the atrocty Of the crime
Of which you stand convicted. You are yet very
Young man-n that period of life when we natur-

evidence against you, respecting the recent nefar
Gus stransactons OF your life, discloses tissue of
deception unparalleled by any case ever before
known in the judiciary of North Carolina.


Every circumstance connected with your life
and with your recent offence is an aggravation of
your crime. Your parentage, not only highly res
pectable, but your father Il minister of the gospel
blameless in his social rea atons and in his walk
before the world yourself moving In a circle far
from the lowest in society; with wife who look
ed to you with all womans confidence for love
and protection and tender child whom it was
your province to sustain and cherish and it for an
honorable station in society,-you had the daring
rffrontery to go but short distance into neghbor
ing county, pass yourself in society there under
another name, persevere IN your deception until





unsnspecrng anily, secure the affections young
and innocent girl, and consunmate second mar
rjage! 1t has been said by some writer that truth
is stranger than fiction, and the case before me
proves the correctness of the remark. Romances
and noEes furnish relations similar for marvellous
ness and atrocity; but such realities have never
before with in all the observations Of my life.
Human vi.lany, in the various shades in which it
has been painted 10 our view, has hardly furnished
a parallel to this. A


1t is my solemn conviction that you are not the
