4ARRIAGES OF UN CONFIRMED

PERSONS.
Per some time past the vicar of Leigh and the in-
,'_lrnbent of Bedford have refused to marry or to publish
the banns of marriage of unconfirmed persons. A
the prosecution has been instituted against
iwni! latter clergyman, for refusing to marry two parties
before
banns had been published in the usual manner
tr,l,re the board of guardians, and who presented
him the registrar's certificate. The trial is ex-
te if
toed to take place at the next Liverpot 1 Assizes, and
fee' offence is described as one of misdemeanour. A
Ivo weeks ago, a young man named James William-
?,", of the parish of Low ton, and a young woman
-,14111d Mary Ann Kearsley, of the parish of Leigh,
!tired the vicar of Leigh to publish the banns of mar-
Ne, but he refused, on the ground that the female
had not been confirmed. An appeal was therefore
4tade to the Bishop of Manchester, who directed the
beep
to publish the banns. They have accordingly
„veil published during the last two Sundays. The
LIN', however, has intimated his intention of institut-
ing, proceedings against the female, her father, and
brother; the father for neglecting to cause his
,Ildren to be confirmed, and the children for ne-
F,!!eting to come for that purpose. The vicar, on
,40bursday afternoon last, personally served the fol-
i wing notices upon the parties :
"-I, James Irvine, vicar of Leigh, in the county of
Lancaster and diocese of Manchester, do hereby require
si-
tuate 3:, James Kearsley, weaver, residing in a cuttage
in a street commonly called Canal-street, near the
"it end of Twist-lane. in the township of Pennington,
bthin the parish of Leigh aforesaid, to send your
,11 Peter and your daughter Mary Ann to the
sifish Church, on Sunday next, and on every
!tleeeeding Sunday and holyday, to be there
mstructEd and examined in the Church Catechism, after
the second lesson at evening prayer, until such time as
fey: have learned all that is therein appointed for them
learn.—Dated this 6th day of September, in the year
of our Lord, 1849.
(Signed) "J. IRVINE, Vicar of Leigh.
David Green, witness."
The following extract from the canons of the
Church accompanied the above :
_ "And likewise, if any of the said fathers, mothers,
oills satire or mistresses, children, servants, or apprentices,

come, ect the
and the other dutiest, as inn o
refusing to learn, ae sort in not causing

61" of a month, then let them be excommunicated.

The attention excited amongst the inhabanta of
Colchester and its neighbourhood by the recant strange
doings at Fingringhoe, was taken advantage of a few
!lays ago by some practical joker, who has succeeded
in causing several respectable persona to lose their
titne and become the victims of a hoax, noteat all
remarkable either for cleverness or originality. On
Triursday morning a letter was received by an
auctioneer, request ng his assistance at eleven o'clock,
to take an inventory of goods and effects at Fingring-
hue, on the premises of the well -known Mr. N—,
Thither, punctual to the appointment, the unsuspecting
victim repaited ; but an interview with the worthy who
occupied the premises soon convinced him that his
services were not required. The pitiful consolation,
however, of having brothers in misfortune was
not denied him. In about ten minutes, a horse
and van arrived at the mill, from which was soon
seen alighting the person of Mr. A., who had been
attracted to the spot by a written request for his in-
spection and purchase of the piano. On announcing
bill errand, a volley of oaths saluted the ears of the
astonished tradesman, and he was assured in the most
been in the house. Not long it was ere a third visitor
arrived, in the shape of Mr. E—, who, having been
requested to take a survey of the premises, preparatory
ttO the insurance of the property in the office for which
was agent, had obtained the assistance of Mr. 13.
as an experienced miller, to enable him to form
Competent judgment touching the value. We under-
nand that the letter requesting his attendance as-
signed as a reason for Mr. N--'s desire to in-
sure, the circumstance that incendiary threats
ad been anonymously sent to him ; a hint which,
if really given, might have opened Mr. E—'s eyes at
once to the nature of the requisition. To crown all, at
two
o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. M—, "village
lawyer," made his appearance in a vehicle which had
travelled with him all the way from Sible Hedingham,
and for the hire of which he had expended a sum
of 16s. The warmth of his reception, on informing
41r. N— that he had come to render him
assistance in getting through the Bankruptcy
Court, may be readily imagined. It is said that these
were not the only birds intended to be linied ; and
two auctioneers, we are told, did actually leave home,
intending to obey summonses for professional aid at
this interesting village, but second thoughts intervened
and they never reached their intended destination. The
",siege of Fingringhoe," as the blockade of the premses
above referred to, by the creditors' subsidiaries, is face-
tiously styled, after enduring for about 14 days, was
raised on Friday night, when the troops were disbanded
in consequence of a sheriff's execution being put in,
rendering the previous efforts to secure the property al-
together nugatory. The sale took place on Saturday.—
