ter, obtained £1.200 damages from James Benwortby,

of marriage, and had held her under expeetat.on of
marriage ever since until August last, when he intrried
another lady. This; is one of his letters describing his
experience of cold-curing with rum and honey :-
My dear Nelly—lfere I sit, my head in onchand pen in the
other, • pain In my heed fit to crack it, suppose it to be made
of steel. Olio, rum and honey, rum and honey, what has% thou
done for James I—(laughter), I arrived at Ashton all fight,
but of course little would have more, and the result, as a
matter of course, was, James gut drunk (laughter). If James
had been taken before James ,Kenwortby, J.P., he would
have been fined 5.1 and costs, or fourteen days for buoy
drunk and incapable. However, I did not get that mark .4
distinction. I got home all right in a cab, but no more cold-
curing with rum and honey (renewed laughter). I
cannot get down to see you this evening, so I
thought I would just let you know I ww, alive. yet
I cannot remember how I left the Thatch'd last night. I
had not the slighted Idea of when I left. so if I either ...id or
did anything, prayexcuse me, Nelly. Oho, Nell, I wculd do
anything for you, my love; hut do excuse me If I made a fault
la.' night, but It small through rum and honey 111 did."
