(Some info from “Trove” between 1874- 1883 Court cases relating to Rebecca FORRESTER, Bigamy charges etc.)
Gundagai Times 21 Sep 1883 A QUEANBEYAN ROMANCE. (Queanbeyan Age) The abductlon case heard at the police Court on Friday, is altogether a curious and mixed up affair. A man named Forrester made his appearance in town on Thursday last, and after making an examination of the records of the registrar of births, marriages, and deaths, went to Mr. Walker's store, and under the pretext of having an interview with a little girl residing there named Isabella Forrester, whose father he represented himself to be, took her away on the Goulburn coach. The mother of the child, who is known as Mrs. Robertson, having a short time ago been married to a man named John Robertson, on hearing that her daughter had been thus carried off, applied for a warrant for the abductor. On Saturday he was brought up in custody, and committed for trial for abduction. The child's mother de- clared on her oath that she had no knowledge of the accused. He, on his part declares that he is her lawful husband, and the father of the child Isabella and those saw the accused, and who knew Forrester years back, readily identified the man. In 1875, Mrs. Forrester (as she was then called), had the man she had been living with as his wife punished for wife desertion in the Queanbeyan Police Court, as the records show ; and shortly afterwards, somewhere in the northern districts, this For- rester on his own plea of guilty, was sentenced to three years' imprisonment for bigamy, on the allegation that he married another woman, his first wife Rebecca Forrester being alive and residing at Queanbeyan. Forrester was brought before Mr. Wright, J.P., and com- mitted for trial to the next Circuit Court to be held at Goulburn. As bail was not forthcom- ing accused was detained in custody. |
