Moncton, May 3.

A reyolting state af immorality has been revealed here, bigamy and adultry being so common as to shock the betier feelings of the community. In one case a man and woman named Crossman are known to have gone to a magistrate and signified their de- sire to live apart, the woman siguing a doc- ument agreeing to make no claim on her husband for support. It is even said Cross- man gave his wife to a young man named Leaman. At any rate, Loaman and the woman went through a sham ceremony of marriage. Crossman married another girl, and the two families have since lived in the same house. Hearing that prosecutions were likely, Crossman and Leaman both cleared out. Three other cases of adultery were found in one street, and on another street a man with a wife and family in Nova Scotia was found to be living with a woman who has a husband residing in some other part. In another case a widower, formerly a prominent contractor, was found to be living with his niece and raising a familv Several prosecutions #73 likely. :
