had seen but a few times, and who was about going to
America. His daughter having lately suffered from Lever,
and not being quite right in her mind, and the marriage not
having been consummated, he gave the prisoner into custody
for the purpose of seeing if the magistrate could not inter-
fere and prevent his daughter leaving the country with

in the newspapers, a former wife of the prisoner's came for.
