    1. [ENG-CAMS] The Times, 19 Apr 1824 - Unhappy Occurrence (4)
    2. The Times, Monday, Apr 19, 1824; pg. 3; Issue 12316; col A The person calling himself Charles Samuel CAVE, of Thorney Abbey, and whose injurious conduct to the daughter of a respectable innkeeper at Carlisle we mentioned last week, we find is well known in the neighbourhood of Stamford, where he married two former wives, one of whom is still living. His first partner was a woman of King's Cliffe, named NICHOLLS; by her he had two children; and he was a widower with that family, settled as a cooper at Wisbeach, when he married, secondly, a creditable young woman from Thornhaugh, near Stamford, called Charlotte BINHAM, whom he basely deserted a few days before she was confined in childbed, leaving her, and children by his former wife, chargable to the parish of Wisbeach. The children were disposed of among the family of their own mother, and their mother-in-law returned to her friends at Thornhaugh, where she continued until she obtained a place of service in a respectable family in London. There she is at present. We understand it has been resolved by the family of the innkeeper at Carlisle, whose daughter the profligate fellow has so greatly injured, to prosecute him for bigamy, and the necessary measures for that purpose are now taking. As CAVE is as illiterate as he is impudent, it is surprising that he should have so successfully carried on his imposture in the north. His detection arose from an application to a professional gentleman in Wisbeach, to whom he had the assurance to refer for the transfer of "6,000L. funded stock," which he had engaged to advance on a mortgage near Carlisle!! The promptness of the application, and of the answer to it, probably prevented CAVE's flight to some other part of the kingdom, where he might have re-acted his nefarious tricks. He is held fast in the prison of Carlisle. - Stamford Mercury. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The trial at the summer assizes to follow.....
