Earl Ruscell having been arrested for bigamy—though it is but fair to say he got his American divorce and contra his American second marriage without any attempt at concealment—we shall sh see in practice another survival of medi times—the trial of a peer by his peers There has been no such case since 1341, when Lord Cardigan was tried for injuring aman ina duel; and there have been only four such eases since the Risi 11749. The other cases were the t William Lord Byron for killing a duel, the notorious Duchess of King-ton for bigamy, and Earl Ferrers for murdering his steward. The proceedings in Earl Russell's case will therefore attract an antiquetian as well as a sensational interest.
