Afair Matrimonial 'lric^Q
CxAPTAIN B""„ of the S
sMdivia, lady ptfid his acdrefles to the
daughter of a very reputable farmer in the
dghborhood of his quartets ; ur.d, after
ill vain endeavoring t?fcduce hsr, at late
proposed private marriage. 'I he young
dadv acquainted her father with thia pro
?ofal, who affected to the marr'.ae, pre
sided the person who married the n was ci
his appointment. This was agreed to on
die part of the Captain,who well knew,a
the young lady was of the Roman Catholic
persuasion, and he a Prctertant, that such
marriage mutt be illegal. Ihe ceremony
was performed,, and the nuptials private
ly celebrated at the farm house, where th
camp broke up, when* he marched off, ev
en without taking leaves
The consequence was, that the father
followed him to London, and having ba;
in interview, was laconically told by hit
Ron-in-law, '' The marriage was invalid,
on account of the difference of their relig
ion."' The honest farmer replied, if thai
be the only caufe,it was already removed ;
for having had proper intimation cf hi:
dcfigns,.he caused his daughter publicly to
read her recantation from the errors of tht
church of Rome and to embrace the Pro
tellsat religion, four daysprevibus to th<
nuptials; and that he had allo procured 1
facial licence for the par,oft ;fo that th:
connubial knot, was indirfo'uble.
Howthe Captain was affeded, may b r
conceived. He is heir to an Earldom,
and a large estate, and the farmers daugt

heir.
